16. are you really the target market?
I have a feeling that clark's winning potential is in getting a range of voters that i am so wholly disgusted by, i would never consider catering to... per your sentiments exactly... but is that a winning strategy? I think clark's direct contraposition to the BFEE's patriotism for the masses of people who want a "dear leader" really may be an election winner.

America is increasingly like the soviet union, and people want a big baddie general to order things so they can feel "lead". It is good for him as it keeps him center-right of us... and likely where the median winning votes are in a security-election where the contested states are so brainwashed that they think shrub is a hero.

In realpolitik, clark is a winner. Remember that the average american watches 4.5 hours of TV per day and has a 6th grade education... a new patriotism to oppose mental-illness-patriotism may be the very medicine these folks need. The last time i did community service, i felt pretty good for it. Its not so bad.
