Clark is hoping for one win, and two seconds. in Feb. 3rd.

Yesterday he addressed over 1000 in NM in Spanish, to standing ovation.  He speaks it fluently.

He speaks 4 languages, German & Russian.  He could speak to Schroder directly, (and spell correctly too).

Reported to be experiencing a last minute surge in Arizona, where hundreds stood in the rain waiting for his delayed plane to arrive.  Spoke to 1000 In Tucson.

He was 24 points behind Kerry in AZ., and in last four days went 24-21 to now only 9 points behind Kerry.

I'm fascinated watching this tortise and hare strategy--if it works, he'll be a handful for Rove, I would think.

No he wouldn't - he's a gaffe-prone conspiracy theorist - so nutty he allowed Micheal Moore on his campaign.  Doesn't matter though, he hasn't a chance of the Dem. nomination.

          Clark is a good guy but doesn't understand basic political algorithims. A few weeks ago the media turned bashful on him, a hole that he can not escape from.

His presentation problem is he tries to target sincerity in the debate questions. He ends his question by nodding his head and making sure the moderator knows he has finished his question. This does not earn him applause.

He talks about too many foreign policy details. Showing your smarts through talking doesn't succeed.

Well... I'd be happy if Clark got the nom. or was on the democratic ticket... Sorry to say but from what I've seen the guy if one gaffe after the other I'd say he'd be a big loser if he faced Bush.

I think Clark is a very very dangerous person.  It wouldn't surprise me if he goes into a rage when he doesn't get the nomination.

Dean and Clark were equally appealing to Rove. Both weirdos.
