the Pukes have apparently successfully branded the Democratic Party as being soft on the military and soft on national security. (Footnote: That Dukakis image is still out there, even though some DUers aren't old enough to remember it). You can bitch about it not being the truth, but that perception is out there. Smirk is going to run like a motherfucker on the national security, "we're at war," "I'm a wartime President" theme. Clark neutralizes that argument INSTANTLY. You may not like it, and the perception may be false, but like they say in marketing, "perception is reality." It's high time the Dems stopped ceding the issue of national security to the Pukes.

The Deanies are just too pissed off about this, because they KNOW their guy has no military record at all (where WAS he during Vietnam?).

The Kerry-ites are just terrified of it, because it takes away one of their guy's advantages.
