Clark's In!

Wesley Clark Will Announce Run for Presidency Today (UPDATE: it's official now)

Substitute the word "Southeast" for "Midwest," and Michael Moore could have taken the words from my mouth:

[R]ight now, for the sake and survival of our very country, we need someone who is going to get The Job done, period. And that job, no matter whom I speak to across America -- be they leftie Green or conservative Democrat, and even many disgusted Republicans -- EVERYONE is of one mind as to what that job is:

Bush Must Go.
(snipped)
I am sure there are things [Clark] and I don't see eye to eye on, but now is the time for all good people from the far left to the middle of the road to bury the damn hatchet and get together behind someone who is not only good on the issues but can beat George W. Bush. And where I come from in the Midwest, General, I know you are the kind of candidate that the average American will vote for.

At this point--particularly after watching the debates--the only decision I've made is that I'm undecided. Now, I'd vote for Frank Chu before I'd vote for Dubya. But I'm not middle America, and ultimately I just want the candidate who they can get behind and thus has the best shot at beating Bush, no matter who might be. Clark's entry, even if he doesn't get the nod, will energize the race and strengthen the ultimate Democratic nominee. And, of course, cut down on the pictures of our Top Bum in his flight suit.
