Reply #17: If the only reason [View All]

... for supporting Clark (and note I also support Dean) was that he could beat Bush, I wouldn't be interested in him. I think that's a consideration (those of us old enough to have been voters in 1972, 1984, and 1988 understand that ignoring the electability thing is suicidal), and I think Clark will be a safer candidate against Bush in the general election than most of the other candidates, but if Clark didn't impress me in other ways I wouldn't be interested.

I get the impression that anti-Clark people assume the ONLY reason anyone would be interested in Clark is that he could beat Bush, and that just isn't true.
