Reply #34: I suspect that was before he actually got into the race

Obviously, only an idiot or perhaps an incredibly deluded DU'er, would fail to recognize the potential threat post by a retired four star general from a Southern state, particularly in an election centered around national security issues.

But frankly, I suspect that the wave of panic passed pretty quickly once Wes Clark got into the race and, for reasons that still escape me, decided to associate himself with left-wingers like George McGovern and Michael Moore.

But sure, there's no question that they'd be more worried about Clark than they would about John Kerry, with his history as a war protestor, his lengthy senate voting record and his dreadful speaking style.

Aside from Clark, I suspect the only other person the Bush people were worred about was John Edwards.
