Reply #50: As a fellow adult, bad as Carter was Reagan was worse [View All]

You also could have voted for Anderson, a moderate/liberal Republican from Rockford, Illinois. Reagan was an attractive person, but I NEVER for a minute considered voting for him. Kennedy in the primary - yes (although as always NJ is too late to make a difference) or Anderson -yes. I came very close to voting for Anderson, because I thought he made a lot of sense, but didn't want to contribute to a Reagan win in a close election.

More relevantly, MUCH was known by 1984 when he ran against Mondale.

Like some others have said, I wish Clark would rune for something - Governor, Senate, House anything and get a real track record, otherwise, I need to give a lot of weight to the only votes he's known to have made. Otherwise, you are comparing one person's goals which can be changed as needed with another's record. I think Clark may be an interesting candidate if he proves himself. (Running against Hillary also may get nasty, as Bill replaced him with someone else. If he is her opponent, this could get nasty in the primaries.)
