Well over 60, KR, but a couple are being held back until formal announcements, etc. But I have 59 solid DEMOCRATIC candidates, mostly officers, many career men, from every branch of service and a large portion combat vets from the Gulf and Iraq wars.

The talk like Dems, they act like Dems, the ARE Dems.

They are progressives on domestic issues, believe America has been led fundamentally astray, and that Iraq was was a huge miscalculation that has distracted from the battle against terrorism. They want to take the patriotism, dedication, intelligence and enthusiasm with which they served our nation in the military to the halls of congress to put our nation back on course.

And Clark is the greatest of them all. Wes has heart and spirit and intelligence. He has what it takes to lead our nation in this time of grief when we stand on the cusp of becoming a totalitarian state under a plutocracy.

The fighting dems want to fight the neocons, not wars. They are not chickenhawks, but neither are they hawks. They believe armed force is the very last option that a nation should take after every other recourse has beene exhausted.

Well, I could go on - and I will elsewhere - but see for yourself this Wednesday when some nearly four dozen veterans gather on the steps of the capital with Max Cleland at ten am in the morning and then meet for a huge event in the evening with a star studded cast of speakers. Air America will carry it live.
