Clark Aboard Kerry Bandwagon. Kerry Ready for Republican Onslaught
Clark climbs aboard Kerry bandwagon

Senator says he's ready for Republican onslaught

MADISON, Wis. - Sen. John Kerry accepted the endorsement of former rival Gen. Wesley Clark on Friday and said he is prepared for an onslaught of criticism from the Republican Party and is ready to fight back as he moves closer to the Democratic nomination for president.

<snip>

"President Bush hasn’t led America. He’s misled America, time and time again," Clark said. "We have to put a stop to it."

Kerry, the runaway front-runner in the Democratic presidential race, hopes to make Clark’s voters his own when he clashes with Sen. John Edwards and Howard Dean in Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary, where 72 pledged delegates are at stake.

His support increased from 41 percent in a survey taken last weekend to 53 percent after Clark’s withdrawal, according to a poll released Thursday night by the American Research Group. Edwards was at 16 percent and Dean at 11 percent with 16 percent undecided in the poll, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.

1. In spite of what Donna Brazile said the other day,
I think Clark's endorsement will nullify the Bush attacks on Kerry's so-called "association" with Jane Fonda and the "radical" anti-Vietnam War crowd.

Clark will be an excellent associate for the campaign and will help remind everyone of how badly we need to defeat Cmdr. Bunnypants in Nov.

6. It's gotta happen! Then we'll take back this country by a landslide!
And we'll coattail in at least a majority in the Senate, maybe the House even!! Anything's possible. People hate and fear * and everything he stands for.
