Reply #263: I am not Howard Dean [View All]

[Cheswick2.0]

What makes me different than many people is that the candidate I supported in the primaries does not define me, nor do I think of him as "my candidate" or "my guy".

If you are going to judge him by what you think is wrong with my behavior, well then that is a big difference between us. I judge candidates by their own behavior.

Everything I said about Clark is perfectly valid. It is my opinion whether you like it or not. But people who supported Dean are not all the same. We don't march in lockstep. I think you will find that most have no respect for the kind of international war for profit model that Clark is presently following.

We don't have more in common than we have differences. I would NEVER say someone was responsible for bringing "glory" to a candidate they happened to support in a primary.

Good lord, there is so much more going on than who is going to run in 2008. We have work to do in 2006. Is Clark going to be part of that or is he going to spend the next four years playing professional soldier? The fact that I care about the answer to that is a major difference between me and you. I am not interested in a candidate who's war credentials far outweigh his experience with domestic policy or party building politics.
