from the Clark blog
here is a scenario under which Clark can still win...
All we need to do Tuesday is beat Edwards in one of the two states.
Go to Wisconsin the week after and take second. At that point, Dean and Edwards drop out. Edwards doesn't have the online support to keep going into March 2. We recruit Deaniacs, the Riders of Rohan, to join our insurgency.
We raise $2 million for the General in the two weeks leading up to the March 2 primaries. Clark needs to stop Kerry in New York. Clark can beat Kerry here. 1) Jewish vote is up for grabs with Lieberman out; 2) Kerry is rumored to have had some problems getting delegates assigned to all the congressional districts; 3) Gert will play very well here; 4) Clark can maximize his political and "celebrity" endorsements in New York; 5) Big grassroots support in New York; 6) A hungry local media that will give Clark ample free media time in a two-way Kerry-Clark race. That media reaches Long Island, Westchester, and Connecticut -- another March 2 primary state. (Jerry Brown beat Bill Clinton in Connecticut in 1992). Bloggers help Clark raise $2 million online by March 2 to buy TV time in other March 2 states. Win Georgia and make respectable showings in Ohio, Connecticut and California.
Stop Kerry in New York, and then perceptions change. Prospective Democratic nominees have to be able to win in New York, which is the heart of the Democratic Party. Stick a dagger in Kerry's "inevitability," and his campaign will collapse.
Then, Clark goes down South for the four March 9th primaries: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida. Clark teaches Kerry the meaning of the word "respect" and sweeps all four states and starts making up ground in the delegate count.
At that point, Clark will have momentum and the national media will not be allowed to ignore him. Remaining states will have a chance to see Clark -- which will be enough to push him over the top. Big money $2000 donors will hedge their bets, helping to finance Clark to the convention.
The key is slogging through the war of attrition over the next two weeks.
Keep supporting Wes!
There is a way to get this done.
