I want Dean back! I want a no bullshit scraper! He has the brains, and the average guy look that the repukes so desperately require. He is one hell of an orator. He should have been the candidate.

1. Qualities won't mean squat if the voting system is still rigged.

3. We need......
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 04:28 PM by Frenchie4Clark
To become a "daddy party". The Mommy Party appeals is dead until the War on Terra is won in the minds of most Americans sheeples.

Qualities required to snatch the game from the Repugs:

Charisma
Intelligence
articulator of the truth
Southern and perceived as moderate (even if he is not)
No voting record
A man's man - one you'd want to have a beer with
Pro-guns without being NRA poster boy
A true public servant
Humble roots
values orientated
wartime hero....with no skeletons
attractive to Republicans
a positive reputation in with the world community-
National Security creds up the yang-yang
A uniter....not a divider - A perceived Non partisan
One who understands Media Bias and crooked Voting machines
One who speaks the language of the Nascar Dads....and the Security Moms...and the values language.
one Republicans leadership is afraid of
Great at fundraising
Not meek or mild....no nice guys need apply...unless he is talking real nasty....even if there is a smile on his face.

If they run Jeb Bush/McCain....we will need a strong ticket.

Wes Clark is the Warrior we will need....cause the 2008 election will be a real war!

Clark/Obama
Clark/Warner
Clark/Clinton
Clark/Richardson
Clark/Baye

Clark with anyone is strong....no matter what.

5. I know its early,
and we cant forsee a lot. but i think clark is the man. not a doubt in my mind. let them challenge his patriotism, support of troops, his morality. he will most likely win arkansas. if they do, they will finished. and i bet you Frist if the man in 08.

6. Star quality...
Poll for "most admired Democrats." Find someone with charisma who's willing to devote self to public service. Trouble is, charismatic people usually have something else they'd rather do.
