I have supported Clark,but after tonight if he doesn't win he should

[southern democrat]

drop out so we have a 2 man race.If he wins he should stay in.I sure hope he wins OK.But if he doesn't and he chooses to drop out,I hope he endorses John Edwards.John Edwards will have my support and I am verry verry happy he had a victory tonight.I will support Kerry if he gets the eventual nomination but at this time I feel that Kerry is being shoved down our throats by the media.I also am worried that the road to the White house going around the south with Kerry being the nominee would be virtually impossibile to navigate,ultimately resulting in a second term of Bush.

1. I'd give him 'til next week...

but I agree, that we're reaching the point where we need to focus on those candidates who have a chance to win.

[southern democrat]

10. Should Wes not win tonight the media blackout will worsen

making it virtually impossible to overcome Kerry.By staying in it will also effect Edwards,negatively in my opinion.With Edwards being my second choice,I would prefer to see the focus on 2 that are Competitive rather than 2 competitive and 1 hoping for a miracle.

[GreenArrow]

2. F!*k dat!

Why should he endorse Edwards? Why not stay in, or if he must drop out, why not endorse Kerry? I'd think he has a lot more in common with Kerry than with Edwards. Sure, Kerry is being shoved down our throat by the media, but so is Edwards.

3. I think he is going to win tonight. Don't count him out just yet n/t

[sallyseven]

4. The media needs a life.

They are not fond ot Kerry or Edwards or even Clark. they wasnt a pushover to get the nom. To protect bush for the corporate whores.

[Dookus]

5. i will say

that he shouldn't endorse anyone. He's a top-tier VP candidate and he should remain neutral until a candidate is chosen.

Believe me, there's few people who like Clark more than I do. But if he can't win, he should get out of the way. As should all the other candidates who have no shot.

[Clark Can WIN]

6. HELL NO!

I fight as long as the general fights for me.

[elperromagico]

7. The Kerry/Edwards upswing definitely hurt him.

Prior to Iowa, Clark seemed poised for a strong second-place showing behind Dean in NH. Then Kerry and Edwards pulled up front in Iowa, and Clark had to deal with a rather disappointing third place.

I like Wes Clark a great deal. In fact, I was one of the people who wrote him a letter asking him to run. But it is becoming increasingly unlikely that he will be the Democratic nominee in November.

Make him Secretary of State in a Democratic administration, and I think I'll be happy.

8. I bet he will drop out if he doesn't win tonight.

[MrSlayer]

9. If Clark drops out I'm going Kucinich.

At least I'll have a clear conscience. But I don't think the General is going anywhere.

[acmavm]

11. Clark should NOT drop out. We have a long way to go. Don't play

the he's should drop out if he doesn't win tonight game. Bill Clinton is proof positive that staying in the race until the end pays off.

[Nashyra]

12. No No No

*'s poll numbers are dropping like a rock we need to keep this a 4 man race as long as possible. Let's ee what the aminition is that the Repukes might be hiding. The longer we wait the less time for them to prepare and the more attention is taken away from *

[Clark Can WIN]

15. You got it!

This fellow Husker is still in it too. Clark is the ONLY guy who can take our state. THE ONLY ONE. He's the only one that can take the southwest and the midwest and the south.

GOTTA BE CLARK !

[SW FL Dem]

13. I disagree -

If he has the money to continue he should go on till Saturday and see what happens with MI and WA. The last thing I want is to force Clark and Edwards out leaving Dean to run a two way race with Kerry. That, IMHO would tear the party apart.

[tishaLA]

14. The media has decided: He wins and loses

He will win OK tonight which they will consider a loss. Why? He "camped out" in OK and smothered it. "Nobody else" competed against him. He put all his eggs in the OK basket. Etc., etc.

You know the narrative. Just fill in the blanks.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. ABSOLUTELY NOT!

The media and Terry McAuliffe would like nothing more. No. He has way too much money and support....he's not going anywhere.

[Bucky]

17. It's too early for that. Any drop outs should come by Super 2sday.

Let's dance a few more rounds before picking a permenant partner folks. Love is worth waiting for and so are strong nominees. I generally would like Edwards over Kerry. I doubt Kerry's electibility. But I want Wesley to spin me round the dance floor for the next couple of numbers (I'm looking forward to doing the Chattanooga Choo Choo, frankly).

Of course ABB, but let's rub uglies a bit longer before climaxing, OK?

[sallyseven]

18. Kerry, Edwards and Clark should

stay in the race until March.

[AntiCoup2K4]

19. Uh, you're forgetting someone.
