11. Ordered the first Waging Modern War just now used
Thanks for the recommendation. I was multitasking - surfing DU and working - getting ready to go on a week's vacation. Doing nothing special except catching up on my reading and touring some local places like the zoo, history center and science center that I never get the time to get to.

5. Of course he's going to run. This is another expertly crafted campaign
A few days ago he was telling the troops to "Crank It Up".

Draft Clark 2004: Is General Clark Preparing to Launch Presidential Campaign?
Draft Clark 2004 Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 8, 2003

FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Dailey (jeff@draftclark2004.com), Michael Frisby (mikefrisby@draftclark2004.com)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 /U.S. Newswire /-- Retired Gen. Wesley Clark is reportedly making preparations to launch his presidential campaign shortly after Labor Day, a move that will shake up the Democratic Presidential campaign.

The National Journal is reporting that Gen. Clark recently spoke with a close advisor and said, "Crank it up," in reference to his presidential bid. This follows a series of media interviews in which Clark has been increasingly critical of President Bush's handling of domestic and foreign policy issues.

The National Journal wrote: "Wesley Clark appears to be getting close to throwing his stars into the 2004 Democratic presidential nominating contest. Clark recently phoned one close adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity, and said, 'Crank it up.' The Clark adviser said that the former NATO chief is smart to stay out of the race until after Labor Day, but not much longer after that. He pointed to the number of debates and forums that the Democratic hopefuls have on tap and the chance that these encounters will do little to clarify the race -- as was the case in the recent AFL-CIO forum in Chicago. The Clark adviser speculated that the general will be better positioned for a run if he has a message that seems fresher for not having been part of the clutter."

Meanwhile, the Draft Clark 2004 campaign has been picking up steam, with 98 regional coordinators in 42 states, supported by more than 1,000 active volunteers across the country organizing a grassroots effort that can boost his campaign once he becomes a declared candidate.

6. My fingers are crossed...
I'm hoping and hoping that Clark runs. None of the others are... how do I put it without offending everyone? None of the others inspire my trust.

By the way, I'm not new here. I just can't access my old handle because I lost my password and have a new email addy.

9. From the Clark people: Not schelduled for Face the Nation
According to http://wesleyclark.blogspot.com/">the (unofficial) Wesley Clark blog.


Also, many of the other candidates inspire trust in me (I especially like Dean and Kerry), but I think Clark may provide the best hope for getting rid of Bush, and that matters a lot...
