Clark......First in Virginia

First in Virginia

<snip>General Wesley Clark was the last candidate to enter the presidential race, but the first candidate to submit the required petitions to appear on the Virginia primary ballot. This week, a group of supporters delivered more signatures than the 10,000 required by state law. Virginia's primary is February 10. <snip>

1. Dean organizers collected 19,000 signatures.....

[Dookus]

3. I'm sure you meant to type

something like "Good work, General", or "Good luck, Wes". It just came out wrong. :eyes:



Why is it IMPOSSIBLE for even the most moderately pro-Clark news to be immediately discounted by a Dean supporter?

[sandnsea]

5. And always the first post

Good work General. Good luck Wes. Way to go, hard working campaigners!

I like Wes and would be proud to support him.

8. she trashes Clark when every she can but..

She listed him as her #2 in the ranking of the candidates ( Go Figure! )
. That was great for Clarks folks to get up the sigs needed. It is all getting better very fast for Clark.

[w4rma]

10. Dean had ~20K sigs brought in about 6 hrs after Clark's ~11K sigs.

That's not a trash, that just what happened.

12. i assume Clark beat him to the punch

so they rounded up more to deflect from the fact that Clark brought in the required signatures first.

See parent message.

7. Clark, Dean qualify for Virginia primary ballot

By the Associated Press
Published November 18, 2003

RICHMOND, Va. -- Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean on Tuesday became the first Democratic candidates to get their names on the ballot for Virginia's presidential primary.

Clark was the first to file the required 10,000 signatures with the Virginia State Board of Elections.

Six hours later, Dean's campaign rushed nearly 20,000 signatures to the state board, which stayed open late to accommodate it.
…
Clark, who entered the race two months ago, was the last to join the primary contenders in Virginia. Volunteers collected 10,911 signatures on his behalf, said Marjorie Clark of Chesterfield, the 7th District Democratic chairwoman.

19. You COULD have been civil for once

But I guess doing something other than insulting Clark when you get the chance is beyond you.

[w4rma]

22. How the heck is *anyone*

insulting Clark on this thread? :shrug:

You're trashing your own thread! :(

[IranianDemocrat]

24. Nuhuhhhhhhh!!!!!!!MY CANDIDATE IS BETTER THAN YOURS! NANANANANA!

[_NorCal_D_]

25. Ah yes,

Dean supporters are big meanies! B-)

[xultar]

2. I thought Dean's campaign collected closer to 25,000 n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Who's a fair weather supporter?

How many times are you going to change your avatar? Just wondering...

[xultar]

15. n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

17. Um no

Please, I'm no Deanie, not by a longshot.

[w4rma]

20. I'm a Deaniac, though!

:hi:, xultar and bicentennial_baby!

[_NorCal_D_]

18. You switched xultar?

I'm sorry to see that. :( :cry: :cry:

Won't you reconsider? B-)

[slinkerwink]

23. thanks---we'll need it to beat George Bush.

We can't afford to be wishy-washy Democrats.

[Jackhammer Jesus]

26. You mean the ones who...

flock to pro-Clark threads to preach about Clark's opportunism, insincerity, PNAC/Republican ties, and wholehearted support of death and destruction?

Yeah. Those guys really make me crazy about Dean too.

[Jackhammer Jesus]

32. Ooh - there's another one.

I left out the part about Clark being Clinton's puppet - thanks for reminding me!

[Mz Pip]

30. Amen to that

The endless snide remarks and downright nastiness of "some" Dean supporters make it tough.

I just wish they were as open minded about Clark as I am about Dean. :crazy:

4. Yay again

:) :) :)

[_NorCal_D_]

16. Well this is promising news

no matter how many signatures were collected! B-) :bounce:

[Rose Siding]

27. I hope he had extras

VA asks for a minimum # from each county/district. Taking gerrymandering into account, some sigs are usually unusable so you have to really overshoot. I think that's why the Dean filing was so large.

But First! That's great :hi:

[arewethereyet]

29. ought to warn people thought you were talking a poll or something

I'm not sure I care who is first or last to fill out the paperwork for my sweet old commonwealth.

[goobergunch]

31. I concur. (n/t)

[Egnever]

33. Wow nice work clark!

This is the kind of stuff I like to see in a candidate. Finding oportunities to take the lead.

You arent my guy Wes but good work just the same!

[MoonRiver]

34. Woo hoo!!!

President Wesley Clark!!!
