[Ilsa]

Great forum. Maj. Pat Williams, Berry, Rush, Rangel... Loved the intro by Major Williams about Clark's commitment to minorities in the military.

Gert is a natural! She has a great and strong presence.

[BootinUp]

8. Congressman Rush fro Ill.

Talking up Clark

Chanting: Clark CAN! Kerry CAN'T

Clark WILL! Kerry WON'T!

Now bringing up Kerry wavering on AA in the past.

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. Go Rush!

[xultar]

10. Worked his way up! Yes, good point! n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Rep. Wm. Jefferson

From La......Wes Clark is the man who can beat George Bush. Clark wasn't always a General. He worked himself up...wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. You are the gateway...send us Wes Clark and we'll take care of him in La. :bounce:

Go Wes!

[xultar]

12. Rangel is good to have on Wes's side...n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. Charlie!

Go Charlie. I LOVE this guy! :loveya: George Bush is dangerous to our health! Hahaha! he was the first Prez appointed by the SCOTUS!

Go Wes!

[Jerseycoa]

50. Charlie looks sick

I hope he's not getting the flu or something. Maybe just exhausted working so hard to get the General into the WH.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. This is exactly what Wes needs to be doing.

He needs these HUGE endorsements to be speaking out for him.

[xultar]

16. Gert GERT Gert!!! n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. The next First Lady of the United States!

She has a great laugh! :) Go Gert!

Go Wes!

[TacticalPeek]

19. Its clear who's behind Wes.

Thank goodness she saw the importance of his candidacy and stood up.

[xultar]

23. It woulda been so easy for her to be selfish and say no to him

and us and say hey we don't need that shit.

Think how strong she was, she had Wes jr while he was in Nam.

[xultar]

28. Gert for Govenor of AR! n/t

[xultar]

18. U-WES-A! New slogan from a user over @ CCN!

20. Gert doing a great job, talking family values

Job
Education
Healthcare

[xultar]

21. No one can tell me that WES and GERT shouldn't be President and

1st Lady.

What are these people thinking.

I was just thinking that I was gonna chicken out on making phonecalls to SC.
But I can't we need GERT, WE NEED WES!!!

[Ilsa]

24. Gert talking about job losses, three men in her family,

nephew, brother, brother-in-law, only one working full time, others working part time.

Now talking about tuition at state colleges going up 28%. (We felt that bite this year, helping out our niece with her tuition.)

Talking about health insurance, including mental health care, affordability.

"Wes will practice what he preaches."

I love Gert!

[democracy eh]

29. Holy doodle

wow what a team
an amazing, capable lady

this is an fabulous speech

she is hitting a personal connection
she is hitting the big picture issues and themes

[madmax]

26. Gert Clark will be a wonderful First Lady.

She's very down to earth and seems relaxed and comfortable at every rally I've seen her attend.

[BootinUp]

27. She's getting better, and better

Gert for V.P. ?

:)

[Kahuna]

30. U WES A!

WES IS BEST!

[in_cog_ni_to]

31. She honored the veterans.

I love that Wes and Gert do that. They HONESTLY care about them and EVERYONE in this country. Why can't people see WHO these people really are? How much they TRULY care? They aren't just giving lip service to these people.....they mean what they say!

Go Gert! Go Wes!

[madmax]

32. "Our Lady Liberty - Gert Clark"

Did you see the sign at the rally?

[Kahuna]

35. Chris Jansing of MSGOP is interviewing Gert

I'm sure that she will inject something snide and petty into her report. Too bad. Such a pretty girl.

[Ivote]

40. It's not lansing

it's Jansen

[Kahuna]

42. I changed it already. And it's Jansing smart guy!

not Jansen. :P

[MoonRiver]

33. I am in awe of Gert!

She's Hillary without the edge. She's Eleanor Roosevelt with a twinkle in her eye! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: GERT!!!!

[Tatiana]

36. Yes, yes, yes!!!!!

This woman is fabulous.

[TacticalPeek]

34. She's certainly the best speaker of the spouses.

There's a definite 'two-fer' with this deal.

[Kahuna]

37. Yep.

She rocks!

[Kahuna]

39. Chris Jansing on MSGOP live with Gert now..

nt

[madmax]

38. Yes, I noticed that, too.

She seems to be the most visible and most comfortable of the spouses campaigning. :loveya:

[Clark Can WIN]

41. She is acing this interview, I am just blown away

My goodness she's good. I also like the lady with the campaign buttons for earrings.

[BootinUp]

46. What interview y'all talking about?

[Clark Can WIN]

47. At the end she did an interview, I think for CNN

And she was incredible. Very effective, like she'd done this all her life.

[MoonRiver]

48. I think it's the MSGOP one, but it's not on here.

Maybe later.

[maddezmom]

43. She's great with the crowd

what a wonderful laugh, genuine class and sass. :)

[madmax]

44. I'm impressed

This is not act - this Lady is for real. Just like her husband.

GO WES GO :bounce:

[MoonRiver]

45. You really nailed her charm, maddezmom!

Gert Clark, First Lady with genuine class and sass!

[maddezmom]

49. "genuine class and sass!"

but they need to feed her, she hasn't eaten yet. :)

[MoonRiver]

53. I know poor thing. I just keep hoping somebody will hand her a donut!

Btw, do you know how old Gert is? Wes is 59, but I don't know Gert's age. I thought I heard her say she'd been with Wes for 36 years since she was 19, but I might have missed something.

[Nashyra]

54. Chris Jansing just interviewed her on MSNBC

she talked about how compassionate Clark is and how he is so willing to help regular people. Well I know from first hand experience what she means. My dad went with me to volunteer in NH and he met Clark, my dad is a Korean War Combat Veteran and heard Clark say he was 5 when Korea started, after the rally my dad went up to meet him and told him he was in Korea, Clark took the time to ask him questions and when my dad told him what division he was in and when Clark knew what they had done, what equipment they had used, what their objectives had been. He knew what my dad had been through and took the time to make my dad feel honored and respected. My dad came away from that meet up feeling for the first time that his time serving his country in war time had been appreciated and that his service had been acknowledged. The next day we met Wes Jr. and my dad introduced himself and was holding a Veterans for Clark sign and Wes Jr. commented that my dad must be the gentlemen that his dad had been talking about the night before. The fact that he would be telling my dads story floored him. Tues nite we were standing out in the cold holding signs at the polling station and Clark came out to meet voters and he thanked my dad personally again. He sent his team that travels with him for hot chocolate for all the workers out there regardless of what campaign they were working for. Clark is a compassionate class reality, no act at all. My dad brought home some pictures that he will cherish forever. Thank You Wes Clark for making a soldier feel his efforts had value.

[maddezmom]

56. thanks for sharing your personal story

Wes will make a great president for all the people of this country. We have to keep working to get his message out. :)

[MoonRiver]

57. Thank you for that. It was a wonderful personal testimony for the General

:grouphug:

[maddezmom]

51. she's out of the van now

doing more autographs and pics. :)

[texasmom]

52. Woo Hoo!

Listening to all the congressmen, "The Major," and Mary Frances Berry speak about how Wes Clark is THE strongest nominee for our party just fired me up again! Very powerful!!

Gert was awesome! That's the first time I've heard her speak for any length of time.

[madmax]

55. Wes Clark has a 'secret weapon'.

GERT CLARK!! This Lady is a natural. :hi:
