32. I didn't put Wes Clark in the poll because Wes Clark doesn't get
Edited on Tue Nov-28-06 04:28 PM by FrenchieCat
coverage like the other candidates. He, Clark, appears on Fox, but that is the extent of his publicity beyond being listed as a 2nd tier candidate everynow and then. Half of the time, he is not even included in the polling......so no, Clark is not corporate media generated....he is, in fact, the opposite. I actually wonder what they think of him...that as much as they ignore him, he still finds ways to generate some buzz, albeit, not the kind required to demand national attention, thereby gathering Buzz and all that goes along with it. Maybe if he writes a book and goes on a booktour the media will build up to a frenzy and he will be seen on every major talk show there is talking about a subject that doesn't necessarily impact on the topic of the current national conversation that we are involved in .....but I don't think that's exactly how it works. If you write a book and they want you to get publicity that will be their excuse to give it to you. If you write a book and they DON'T want you to get publicity, they will work around you as though you're not really out there. It's quite simple, really...and an awesome power for those who shouldn't have it, to have.
