I have encountered and heard about SO MANY Republicans who cringe when talking about Bush, but can't bring themselves to vote for a Dem. UNLESS it's Wes Clark. He is the only Dem. who can literally wrap the flag around him and be believable (as he did at the Dem. Convention and on the stump for Kerry). Anybody think Wes Clark can be Swiftboated? Think again. This is a man who, as a 3-star general in his 50s, rappelled down a mountainside in Serbia during a war in an attempt to save members of his team whose vehicle had gone over the edge. When asked during the primaries how he would deal with Rethug smears, forgetting he was on CSPAN camera, said "I'll beat the shit out of them." When the horrified MSM asked whether he meant to say that, the answer was "No, I meant to say I'll beat the living shit out of them." Wes Clark is the Dem. the Rethugs fear the most because he trumps them in their supposedly strongest arena. Plus being a true progressive.
