There's no way Dean would take one state in the South. If the Dems nominate him the South will be a complete write off for them. If Clark gets the nod they have a chance in some Southern states and he could cause more trouble in the general ( no pun intended ) election.

Howard Brush Dean III, child of privilege, Birkenstock doc, and beneficiary of some $3.8 million in trust funds, equities and financial instruments, just can't get those Southerners to cut him any slack. Spoiled rich kid, waltzing in and playing at being a "good ol' boy", without a clue how to relate his world to theirs.

Life is hard, and the degree of hardness is so much of the time, of one's own making.

As soon as John Q Southern Voter steps into the booth and contemplates "President Clark" he/she will think Democrat but vote Republican. Even Arkansans will vote Bush over Wesley unless they are true democrats, meaning Govt supported leeches.

Dean's killing himself with his "Osama is innocent till proven guilty," "We're not safer with Saddam being caught," "It doesn't matter to me where Osama is tried," and his pathetic pander to Southerners.

This is why Clark is catching him.

If Clark gets the nod...

Yup... I'm smelling this too. The Clintons want him bad 'cause he's their suck puppet. Dean won't dance to their tune. Clark will place 3'rd in Iowa and 2'nd in NH... not bad and still in striking range. A win in SC and he becomes a real boil on Deans ass. >>JMHO
