So asks 76003.1414 The D's who fell all over themselves to dump Wesley Clark ought to be locked in a room and made to listen to an infinite loop of this line: Now, being a POW certainly doesn't qualify anyone to be President... [From Read Fred Thompson's Convention Speech - KOIN.com ] When Clark said it the R's shouted boo and the D's caved before the echo died away. Why, indeed. I wonder if the media,...

Sound familiar? (See quick 15 second video below ) Oh, and before anyone says "that's unfair - Thompson went on to say that it does show McCain's character - you didn't' show that part"... Yeah, and when Bob Schieffer and the rest of the media were excoriating Wesley Clark for saying THE EXACT SAME THING Thompson said last night, no one bothered including the rest of the quote in which Clark said that...

General Wesley Clark, whom the left feared was dissed by Barack Obama into not attending the convention, is right here, underneath the stage, in a crisp suit. I'm looking at him right now. Get ready for something special.

... in haiku. Need a running mate who will make me look like more than a neophyte. Reach into the past? Al Gore has experience. But George Bush beat him. Could be I will pick Kathaleen Sebelius. Nah. Wes Clark wants her. Senator Clinton. I beat the pantsuit off her. No way she gets it. Fast Eddy Rendell? Could shore up Pennsylvania, but he endorsed Her . I like that Tim Kaine but Republicans would...

Wesley Clark is held in almost idolatrous regard by a certain class of Democrats, who are now joining other classes — environmentalists, anti-militarists, secularists, civil libertarians and universal health care proponents among them — in a state of increasingly injured puzzlement over Barack Obama’s position on their issues. The Clark class includes those Democrats who inwardly [...]

Well it's official.. Obama/Biden. Biden wouldnt have been my choice. He would make a great Secretary of State, but I dont think Vice President is best for him. I would have chosen Wesley Clark. He has the foreign policy and military experience that Obama lacks while not being a creature of Washington. That being said, I like him. He speaks his mind, he knows a lot about a lot, and isnt afraid to tell...

I wrote a a month ago: we really, really don't want to pick someone who plugs a supposed gap in Obama's armor. You pick Wes Clark, and people won't see "phew, national security is covered!". Nope, they'll see, "Obama is trying to compensate for his lack of national security creds!" And whether it's Sam Nunn, or Joe Biden, or anyone else who supposedly patches up a weakness, the end result would be...

Cell phones around the country greeted their owners this morning with text messages proclaiming that Barack Obama had chosen Joe Biden as his Vice-Presidential nominee. An interesting pick; I would have been more excited by Kathleen Sebelius or Wesley Clark, but I can live with it. The things you need to know about Joe Biden [...]

Senator Joe Biden attempts to penetrate the fog that is AG Michael Mukasey on 9 July 2008: You know us. We don't do cheerleading at the POGGE Institute, and there is undoubtedly a lot of stuff about Joe Biden that is eventually going to trouble us. He isn't Wesley Clark, eg, which is sort of a shame. But he is another one of those guys who make you think, gee, he could have been a Canadian, if only...

Barack Obama averted disaster by not picking Gov. Tim Kaine or Rep. Chet Edwards or some other midget. Sen. Joe Biden was not a top pick of mine. I would have preferred to see Gen. Wesley Clark, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, Sen. Jim Webb, Gov. Bill Richardson, or Gov. Brian Schweitzer. But Biden might just be the shot of toughness (never mind all his foreign policy bona fides ) that Barack needs. Biden...

According to the betters on Intrade (as of this post), Biden is most likely to be Obama's pick: Biden 78.8% Hillary Clinton 11.3% Chet Edwards (who is that') 6.5% Evan Bayh 2.1% Tim Kaine 1.3% Wesley Clark 6.1% [bunch of others] Fluctuations have been quite dramatic. On the Republican side, top contenders include: Romney 56.0% Pawlenty 22.7% It's been a wild ride. Word is that Obama will announce tomorrow...

Did you know John McCain was a POW during the Vietnam war? It's probably not widely known, since he never talks about it, preferring instead to keep his POW light under a bushel. In fact, you can't even ask him about his POW status or he gets irritated. When Gen. Wesley Clark brought up the fact that being shot down over Vietnam doesn't automatically qualify you for the presidency, McCain was annoyed....

Steve Clemons, Washington Note Time for Obama Team to Call General Wesley Clark and Request His Services The Obama campaign needs to reverse course and reach out to General Wesley Clark who is the No. 1 most requested surrogate by Democratic Party fundraisers. He is a thoughtful, top tier, command experienced strategist. He once told me that we need to organize an "Urgent Action Climate Change Task...

About two weeks ago, I wrote that the Harris County Democratic Party would probably need to do some hard work ahead of them, because John Edwards no longer seemed like the right person for Houston's biggest party fundraiser that was scheduled September 20. Soon afterwards Mr. Edwards withdrew from the event, leaving the party in certain need for a bit of scrambling. Well, their work has been done....
