Reply #7: Clark gets the center, Dean gets the Greens

[BeyondGeography]

For the sake of winning and governing, I'd say the former is a richer pool than the latter. HOWEVER, we should try to find a combination that pulls from both segments. Clark's very strong on the environment and would emphasize investment in environmental technologies as part of his economic plan. He'd also make a major push to re-start the Kyoto Accord as part of his efforts to rebuild relations with Europe. Factor in the fact that he's a military man from the South, and Clark simply has the ability to reach more areas of the electorate than Dean, IMHO.
