The time is right, the choice is right, it’s an easy decision to make: Wes Clark for President.
Clark is totally focused on helping the right people win their Senate and Congress seats this year, and he is not promoting himself, except through his actions for others. He understands the priorities and throws himself into the task at hand the way veterans have been trained to do.
Clark’s military experience will help him win the election against chicken-hawks and veterans alike.
Clark’s simple and direct manner of getting right to the heart of the matter will keep the short-attention-span media focused through the race and his term in office.
His experience with difficult situations and managing through a crisis will help us dis-entangle ourselves from Iraq and prepare for the real threats we fas as a nation because of the Bush/Cheney/Wolfowitz/Perl/Rove/Rumsfeld debacle. By the way, for those who claim Democrats don’t have a plan, Clark’s plan has been published for a long time: http://securingamerica.com/issues/iraqplan.
A large percentage of the Pentagon leadership will have no problem supporting Clark as commander in chief; and that is big. Actively fighting a reluctant military leadership is tiring even with the best administrations, having them cooperate will be hugely helpful to even the worst administration.
All those poor lads (and lasses) sent to Iraq for the wrong reasons need someone they can trust to do the right thing in office.
I really like Edwards, Richardson, and Bayh; but Clark has the experience we need now. H. Clinton is too far to the right for my tastes, heck, so is Mark Warner – though I respect both of them immensely. Gore or Kerry running again would surprise me, and frankly I like the jobs they are doing now as non-presidents. For that matter, both Clintons are doing fine without being POTUS – let them continue in those roles for now. We need everyone working hard in many, many capacities to reclaim our democracy.
Clark’s military background has given him the maturity to hold power in service to the people rather than for power’s sake. That last point is huge with the voters right now.
