He could announce in the middle of a meteorite impact and serve the purpose of living up to his word and giving fellow candidates fair warning. His word, incidentally was for the 19th, two days from now.

He still would have been allowed proper space for his formal announcement and he could have done that after the storm left. If this was deliberate on their part, it was absolutely inexcusable.

There's a difference between announcing and having the formal celebratory event. What he did, if he or his people did it, was to fuck a comrade out of a deserved moment of pomp and showmanship.

The only legitimate arguments whereby Clark or his camp aren't ham-handed scumbags are as follows: 1) It was a completely sloppy leak by an idiot, 2) It was a deliberate media leak either to screw Edwards or just to greedily scoop the rest of the press. That's it. Go ahead folks, sound off on this, if you please.

The argument that Rove'll do worse is silly: this is about respect; if unscrupulousness is to become a lauded trait, then we are lost. What would this say about Clark and his people? Oh, he's no worse than Rove...
