I just had a conversation with Wes Clark! [View All]

[Renew Deal]

I as many of you know live in NY. I work less than a block away from Letterman's studio. Clark was interviewed on there. It will be shown tonight. There were about 100 of us (supporters) there outside. Clark came out of the studio just after the fans did. He had a scheduled interview in the street with MTV. So after that...

Clark was shaking hands with guests and supporters outside. He looked good. Smart, confident, and friendly as usual. When I shook his hand I said "You kicked butt on Fox." (I didn't say ass to the potential next president.) He said thanks. Then he stopped, turned to me and said: "You know that was something. That guy tried to twist my words. When they try to smear you, you have to go right at it or it spreads." Someone asked him about Russert. He said that was different and that stuff was out there. He had to answer it.

We asked some of the crowd what they thought. There were overwhelmingly good reviews. A few people said things like:

He did great.
I think he's the one I support.
I wasn't sure before, but...
He gave great answers to X question.


There was one couple that were Bush supporters. The woman said that he did well but he should support our president. Some fellow Clarkies talked to them about that. So that's my report. Try to catch it tonight. Dave talks to him about Character and integrity, the environment, gay marriage, Iraq and some other issues. I was not in the studio. That was from my exit interviews. Clarkies and peace loving people, I think tonight was another good night.

Note: DUer Robbedvoter was also there.
