26. Good for you
As someone else so eloquently put it: He's the New Face on the Old Establishment.

He was put in the race to stop Dean. Dean is unscripted, unhandled, UNBOUGHT, and giving power back to The People, and doing damned well at it. For Washington insiders, this cannot stand! He must be stopped!Neither the DNC nor the DLC nor the Clintons want to lose the power they have, and they stand a very good chance of doing that if The People are sufficiently empowered by a REAL outsider and grassroots candidate like Dean.

And it's not because Dean can't get elected -- it's precisely because he CAN get elected (and empower The People).

There's a lot to support this. Not only am I a bit rushed this afternoon, I have no access to my old hard drive with all the good links. Maybe someone will come along and add some supporting information.

I applaud your smarts on this issue.

BTW, not to inflame here, but IMO Clark has enough problems in his background that I would not even like to see him on the ticket with Dean. Too too much ammo for the right by half. Of course, some of the things (his corporate ties including the infamous Jackson Stephens) aren't mentionable by the right, and those are also things that strongly warn against a Clark candidacy IMO.
