Reply #25: I'll give you a short reply. Just my gut-level feeling, okay? [View All]

In 2004, I was a massive Clark supporter. At the time, I thought JE to be nothing more than a smooth-tongued, snake-oil salesman lawyer.

This year, I have watched closely and felt something different behind his rhetoric.

I believe, on a gut level, that he has been transformed, annealed, by his wife's brush with death. With perhaps only years or months left together, he has decided to still run for POTUS. Why? Is it extreme ambition? I do NOT think so. I think he has committed his life to beating the hell out of big money corps, after watching his father labor as a blue-collar worker. I believe he has seen the dark side of the health industry while watching his wife go through chemo, etc.

I think he has been transformed and wants nothing more than to fix this country. I really do. Maybe I am a chump, but I have never been easily fooled by people and I do not think I am now.
