characteristics.. and Clark graduated 1st in his class at West Point; has been married to the same woman forever- and he really did serve with distinction. To (too many) people, this stuff matters more than policy and opinions- after all, what did anyone know about GWB prior to 1999-2000 except who his father was? In short, Clark's opinions will meet with approval with most Democrats- and many moderates from both sides. That, and the 'military thing' give him a viability-edge over other Democratic candidates: He's a Centrist. And yes, I agree he should promote himself beyond the military service.
