Reply #5: This Dean supporter is not a fan of Clark

[Larkspur]

I don't like generals becoming president or VP without holding some civilian political office beforehand and doing well in that office. Also proving that they can win re-election in that office is an important indicator of their civilian political skill. Eisenhower was at best a mediocre president.

The nomination is not Clark's to lose. He has no political campaign experience nor experience working in a civilian political office. Clark's poll numbers are based upon a bubble of name recognition.

I don't want Clark to win the nomination or be Dean's VP. At best, Secretary of Defense, but the more I learn about Clark the less I'm liking him. There is an insincereity in his eyes and pictures of him make him look like a Dauphin prince. That vapid grin is unsettling and my female intuition is blaring loudly that Clark is a modern Iago.
