Clark: Democrats must defend other Democrats. [View All]

[Clarkie1]

Also from DailyKos article:

Americans will believe that a Democratic Commander in Chief will defend them when they first become convinced that "Democrats will defend other Democrats."

I think there is a lot to this. We have to show unity as a party. If all people see is Democrats attacking Democrats that won't believe the Democratic Party is strong enough to defend America.

We need to show America what our values are, while respecting differences of opinion.

Also, I think Clark announcing this early helps the Democratic Party regardless of who eventually becomes the Democratic nominee. The MSM will now focus more on Clark to some degree than before, and that focus means more airtime for Clark's views on the "religious wrong," Bush's "crowing about the sunrise," etc.

When Clark rallies for congressional and senate candidates in 06', his presence will also now be more effective and carry more weight. He will help defend Democrats from the Republican smear machine.

Issues he is and will promoting, such as an election day national holiday and the G.I. Bill of Rights, are also likely to get more attention and airplay.

This is nothing but good news for the Democratic Party.
