Reply #8: That's true enough [View All]

He does get slots on those shows. But whenever he is off camera the talk returns to "Too bad he entered the race so late" and ""those early mistakes cost Clark". Those are the sympathetic comments. Then when he isn't on a show, and the pundits discuss the race, they literally ignore him if they aren't actively dismissing him. Clark is not an also ran, he is consistently at or near the top of polls, but it is rarely cited that he runs best against Bush for instance (sometimes it is Dean who does well in those polls, true, but they discuss him when he does).
