I don't agree that Clark will hold the lead. He is much too green to handle the blistering heat of being a front-runner. He's going to have to answer questions about his Iraq War vote flip-flop from now through the Spring, and I don't know that he's got the experience to pull that off without looking clueless. And many Democrats are not cool with his votes for Reagan and Bush 41. And I expect that there'll be other issues where he's not ready for prime time.

Obviously, to win, the Democrats needs their entire base and a good number of indedpendants. That includes the folks who are putting their hopes in Howard Dean as well as every other candidate. Come the fall of 2004, we'll discover whether Democrats and Progessives are emotionally mature enough to make the only sensible decision - that is, to unite behind whichever candidate emerges, and return Dubya to the Crawford outhouse from whence he came.
