I knew Wes Clark was going to be with Ned Lamont at the Derby, CT VFW and at a rally at UConn today....

I guess they also stopped in McDonald's:

"Can I have your card?" Wes asks...Precious.....How are you going to turn down a 4 Star General who asks you to vote for Ned Lamont after he asks for your card so he can keep in touch with you? Wes rocks.

2. Okay...this is funny

Wes Clark is finding his "20" voters. Isn't that what he told us to do? Find 20 and get them to the polls is the ultimate in GOTV.

6. heh...looks like Wes...

is going to have to get in touch with that guy....The damn Republican still plans on voting for Lieberman....

DERBY -- During his 38-year military career, retired Gen. Wesley Clark faced the Viet Cong and former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic.

But yesterday, drawn into Connecticut's U.S. Senate race, the general was opposite an elderly Housatonic River Valley resident with the nickname "Wild Bill" who wants to see Democratic U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman re-elected.

"I like Joe," Clark told William Menna, Ansonia's former Republican mayor, as local and national media pressed in around the table at McDonald's. "But I'm very disappointed in him."
........

The retired general and Lamont, en route to an afternoon rally at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, made a mid-morning stop at the McDonald's on Division Street in Derby. A group of veterans regularly gathers there for breakfast.

"Do something 'wild' on Nov. 7," Lamont urged Menna before he turned to greet other patrons and Clark took his argument against Lieberman to the press.
......

Clark yesterday said "you must not send people to war unless it's a last, last, last resort" and feared the Bush administration is heading down the same path with Iran.
..............

Menna, who served in the Navy in World War II and Korea, afterward called Clark "a good man," but his admiration for the general will not translate into a vote for Lamont.

"Joe and I go back a long time. He's done a damn good job," Menna said. "To break in a new man at this stage I don't think would be good for the state and country."

But Lamont appeared to enjoy plenty of support from many of the other veterans.

"We've got to get. . . out of there," said Clarence Douglas, who served in the Army in World War II. He called Iraq a "holy war" the United States cannot win.

Joseph Vicdomino, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10585, said he and his fellow veterans are tired of Lieberman and the war.
