18. I disagree.
I'm one of those fringe voters; while I've been determined to stay the course and vote for whoever is nominated for the dems, Clark does not fill me with hope or confidence. The opposite; the possibility of his getting the nomination is a hope killer. It kills my hope for a true shift in the direction our nation has chosen.

We can take bush. At least, we can if:

We can guarantee a clean, honest election.

Everyone who wants to evict him is welcomed into the process. All of those 3rd party voters and non voters who have already lost hope and confidence in the system. They have been coming back in droves. Coming back to work for candidates that give them hope and confidence. I've been meeting with and talking to them all over the country. Their stance? They don't have a lot of confidence in democrats. They are former dems who felt disenfranchised by the party's shift to the right, and they are people who've never voted. They're coming back, and coming in to help in the fight.

I don't think that contingent will vote for Clark. I think they'll return to their 3rd parties or to not voting at all. And I think we need them to beat *. I think Clark appeals to moderate repubs and dems. I don't think he can win the rest of us. And I don't know if we're going to beat * without the rest of us along.
