Seeking Women's Votes, Clark Changes His Style

CONCORD, N.H., Jan. 8 — Gen. Wesley K. Clark has begun to show a softer side.

Gone are his navy blue suit, red tie and loafers, replaced by argyle sweaters, corduroys and duck boots.

At many campaign events recently, a woman has accompanied the general, who is retired, to introduce him. Earlier this week it was the lieutenant governor of Wisconsin. On Thursday General Clark was accompanied by Sherron Watkins, the Enron whistle-blower, who endorsed him here at a center for the elderly.

The Clark presidential campaign is also running a commercial featuring a female soldier who formerly reported to him. And it is sending out fund-raising letters from Madonna announcing her support "not only as a celebrity but as an American citizen and a mother."

4. you don't have to be a frepper to find this insulting

as my wife said, the idea that all you need to do to attract women voters is to put on a sweater and have a woman at your side is pretty insulting.

5. Wearing A SWEATER In New Hampshire's Subzero Temps Is Pandering To Women?

Please explaing Bear... cause that article you posted yesterday contained a quote indicating that the REPORTERS wanted to go sweater shopping.

6. Have we learned nothing?

Did Clark's campaign say that they were putting the Clark in sweaters to attract women's votes? Do you every wear different clothes for different crowds?

Please, bfitw, I'm begging you. Don't endorse and defend the insane politics of attacking the candidate's clothes. Clark is not saying "all you need to do to attact women voters is to put on a sweater." He never said it. It's just clothes. Just clothes.

By the way, Dean invented Sweaters and Clark is just copying him.

to the newborn vote. Scandalous.
