Three more years of primary Groundhog Day
While the story of Clark's run for 2008 has sparked celebrations for some around the blogosphere:
The big question "Am I going to run again?"
The crowd goes WILD. Shouting, screaming, women's panties on stage...uh, no, I'm making that up. But trust me, if this crowd could've they would've.Drum roll please: "Well...I'll certainly have to take your advice about that."
The crowd erupts. He gets to take a water break. Hell, he could've walked around the block and come back before it quieted down.
He asks for our help. He says that last time, he had no political experience, no political strategy, no money when he started and no staff. This time, he promises that if we help, he'll have the money, he has the strategy, he'll have the staff, and he has the experience.
Folks, I'm sitting next to General Clark's media consultant who doesn't want me to say this so blatantly, but what I heard is that General Clark is running in '08. He explained to us that he intends to spend the next few years building the strategy, working the language and connecting the grassroots together for, as he calls it, "a giant march on Washington."
You can rest assured that was nothing compared to the celebrations in Boston and Chappaqua when Kerry and Clinton each heard the news. It was no big secret that Clark and Edwards both split each others voters and if either had dropped out the other would have been a leading contender for the nomination. Did we learn anything in 2004?
