Please don't insult Clark supporters by thinking we're blind sheep looking for a savior. Personally, I read about Clark in 2000 in Richard Holbrooke's account of Kosovo. I read about Clark in Samantha Power's book "A Problem from Hell" which discusses America's reluctance to end genocide.

With all due respect, we have researched his issues. We're not stupid, we haven't been tricked, and many of us voted for Clinton. I don't know if that makes us traitors to the Democratic Party because it's DLC.

We have had ample opportunity within the past year to look at each and every candidate. We looked at Dean, Kerry, Lieberman, Kucinich, Gephardt, et al. If we weren't satisfied after hearing about them for 6 months, then allow us the right to pick who we want. But don't paint us as mindless drones who said, "Ooohh...look, shiny stars on the general's uniform" and started drooling.
