6. Thanks Wonk
I think this is truly Clark "at home" -- meaning
he is and always will be a man of service to others.
The following article should not be overlooked.

10. If you read his website, it is a tradition to spend t-day w/
folks outside of their family in some way or another.

Good points for cynicism though.

11. "Has he done something like this before, or as a career military leader,

14. Has Dean openly opposed a war before or is that just a soundbite?
Comments like this work my last nerve. Why don't we simply mail talking points to Repubs to discredit the humanity of our candidates?

20. The Clark Family Has Moved Around Alot Over The Years
because of being military. Thus, since they've been far away from their close relatives, their holidays have ALWAYS involved inviting freinds and neighbors for dinner.

13. Great!
:thumbsup:

Our Governor spent all day at a mission on the South Side of Chicago handing out coats, hats and mittens to the poor. It's a Democrat thing, I think. :hi:

Considering someone like Dean, coming from a life of privilege does what he can to understand how the have nots live.
