Reply #9: This shows that Clark would make a fine Secretary of Defense [View All]

[Larkspur]

but it will not make a good campaign speech. It will put the average voter to sleep.

Shakespeare said that "Brevity is the soul of wit." Clark is smart but so far he hasn't been able to condense this into something that the average or ordinary voter will understand without falling to sleep first.

Clark should study Paul Krugman's writing style. Krugman is a professor of economics at Princeton, yet he can translate economic theory and terms that most Americans don't know into a fine 650-700 word column that is intelligent and passionate about the topic. Passion and brevity that is what Clark lacks.
