Clark says he probably would have voted for war – talk about a gross misrepresentation by the press. And now it’s a bit late to take it back; the ‘move from Dean to Clark’ ball is rolling, when perhaps it shouldn’t be…
And from The Note:
Writes one Democrat with national political experience:
‘I have read the accounts of the Clark interviews and my reaction is despair and anger. Why did my party’s best operatives think it would be a good idea to subject their neophyte candidate to the country’s savviest reporters for over an hour? Why have my party’s elders rallied around a candidate who is so shockingly uninformed about core issues and his own positions? I am not a Dean supporter [as opposed to me], but I am angry that our party’s leaders have anointed an alternative to him who seems even more ignorant and unprepared, and that this supposed ‘anti-war’ candidate turns out to have been in favor of both the war resolution and Richard Nixon!! And let’s not even talk about the Clintons. Today I am embarrassed to be a Democrat.’
