Welcome to Arkansas Mr. Bush
http://clark04.com/press/release/069/

Little Rock - Today, President George W. Bush is paying a visit to Arkansas, Wes Clark's home state.

In the spirit of southern hospitality, Clark said: "Welcome to Arkansas, where we are still waiting for the economy recovery you've been boasting about."

The latest labor figures show that Arkansas is still losing jobs. Last month, the state unemployment rate jumped to 6.2 percent-the highest level in more than a decade.

The average income in Arkansas is $23,512 and the price of admission to the President's fundraiser lunch is $2,000 a plate. So the average Arkansan won't be able to attend.

Communications Director Matt Bennett suggested, "Mr. Bush, maybe next time you come to Little Rock you can pick a more affordable place to eat. I recommend the Whole Hog Cafe, but they're known for their ribs-and you seem to prefer baloney."

9. The press is under strict orders
They never mention his name...never! Yesterday, at least three references were made to a major foreign policy speech that Clark gave...they never mentioned his name.

BTW, he is the only person putting forth a step by step plan. Now if Dean or bush copies Clark's idea, then they will get credit.

Rove choses the Democratic candidate. Great day in the morning.

10. Why doesn't Clark wise up and give reporters cute nicknames?
Then they would eat out of his hand AND kiss his ass.

:evilgrin:

6. You have to like the feistiness of this campaign
Absolutely no deference to * at all.  I predict this will get
a reaction sooner or later.
