Draft Clark Group to Air TV Ad!

[DoveTurnedHawk]

Supporters of former NATO Supreme Commander Gen. Wesley Clark will begin broadcasting a television ad next week in the early primary and caucus states of Iowa and New Hampshire urging the retired general to enter the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

THE 60-SECOND AD, WHICH was produced by DraftWesleyClark.com and which will air in Iowa and New Hampshire media markets and in Clark’s hometown of Little Rock, Ark., extols Clark’s 34 years of service as an Army officer.

The leaders of DraftWesleyClark.com said they have not coordinated or even discussed their effort with him.

‘SERIOUS CONSIDERATION’

DraftWesleyClark.com aired radio advertisements in New Hampshire in June urging the retired general to join the race.

Clark called the radio ads “amazing.” He also said of the draft movement, “I’m enormously impressed by their energy.... I’m going to have to give some serious consideration to this.”

4. I've Already Pledged the Most I've Ever Pledged

Toward any candidate. But if this group is airing these ads, maybe I'll donate to their site, too! I didn't know they were doing these, until just now, and I follow the Clark stuff pretty avidly.

5. draftwesleyclark.com (Josh and John)....

is the group that did the original ads. I'm sure they're still doing the ads. They also have campaign headquarters expenses. I just talked myself into it. :grr: I just have to make a sacrifice and send more money now!

2. Nice going! Let them praise his bravery - he'll just come

and talk issues. Good news!

6. Great news

I think he would be a great addition to the Democratic primaries. Even if he doesn't win, he shows that Democrats can support the military and handle national security. I need to see more of him before I make a decision but I was impressed by his interviews so far.

7. is this quote good or bad for Clark...

Josh Margulies, another co-founder of the group, argued that Clark would appeal to Democrats, Republicans and independents. Margulies, himself a Republican, said Republicans who support President Bush might ask themselves, “If he loses, who would be my second choice?”



Is Clark for people who would vote for Lieberman, if only Joe were more like Bush?
