Wesley Clark has convinced me that he is really, truly a Democrat.
Basically, Wesley Clark strikes me as a total weasel with no real core beliefs, ready to say just about anything to get elected. Hint: his top backers are THE CLINTONS. He could be a Democrat, but he could just as easily be a Republican weasel. He voted for Richard Nixon.
Having been known to have voted for Nixon and Bush the Elder, only declaring as a Democrat in the last year, and some more, at the New Hampshire primary debate Thursday night, Brit Hume gave him a variant of a question that many people have been asking: When did you decide that you were a Democrat?
Naturally, Clark laughed and acted lightly, giving a little perhaps vaguely plausible spin on his published words to justify his current positions. OK, fair enough.
But then Friday on the stump, he's taking a fairly different stance:
Brit Hume of Fox News Channel, who worked as both moderator and questioner during the two-hour debate with the seven candidates, pressed Clark about when he had first realized he was a Democrat.
Clark told reporters Friday, "I looked at who was asking the questions, and I think that was part of the Republican agenda in the debate."
So the first time Clark gets just a little of something hung on him in a debate, the big, tough general starts crying like a little bitch about the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy and their evil "agenda." Christ Jebus, how did such a pussy get to be a frickin' general?
I guess he really IS a Democrat.

I wonder how he was not shot by his own troops at some point. My guess is that he will not make it very far into the primary season, as more voters get a better look at him.
What were the Clintons thinking?

I don't know. I think anyone who works the drive-thru at a Dunkin Donuts has a pretty good shot at getting lots of votes in New Hampshire. Have you ever seen the way Dems in the Northeast flock to Dunkin Donuts?

I happen to live in the Northeast, not too far south of the NH border. The reason candidates flock to DD is that there's a DD on every corner and off of every highway exit. I have never seen so many DD's in my life!
Candidates must go where the people are. And they're apparently at the DD a lot of the time.
