Let's talk about Clark
I've posted a few links below, the first being a freeper link, the second being an interview with J Lehrer, the third being an opinion piece by a left winger and the fourth being from the draft Clark campaign.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that Clark will get in, especially given the announcement by Soros. They are connected in many ways.

I'm just starting to seriously investigate him as a candidate. He has certainly peaked my interest, due to his military experience and nothing else. Well, it's time that we give serious consideration to all aspects of the man.

A brief read of the links that I've provided leaves me unsure. I sort of get the impression, especially from the left wing reporter, that a Clark and Soros combination is no different than a Bush, Rumsfield combination. The only difference being that they're on our team and not the neocons team. Any thoughts?

2. Lets not and say we did.
When and if he decides to run,and it be as a democrat, then I will be interested in learning more. At this point....it is a moot issue.

3. The only reason I made the post...
is due to the activities of the last few days. Soros making his announcement and Clark telling his people to "crank it up." Maybe I've read too much into these developments but they do seem to be valid reasons to investigate him as a candidate, in my opinion. Just trying to stay on top of things.

5. Okay
I didn't know about Clark's association with Soros. I have been more concerned about his association with Jackson Stephens. Stephens has been linked in some way with just about every smelly scandal for the last 20 years. Like Soros, he didn't get to be a billionaire by accident, but by playing both sides.

These guys consider themselves "kingmakers", and their allegiance is to power, not party. I think they see the writing on the wall that Bush* is out in 2004, and they're shopping for their new guy.

I don't know enough about Clark to know if he's the "guy", but I don't like that he won't say whether he's a Democrat or a Republican.

6. I Like George Soros
He bankrolled the initiative to legalize medical marijuana in CA. He also invested heavily in anti-Iraq war ads.

I'll take support where ever I can find it.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
