Jennifer Palmieri, Edwards 2004 "Spokesmodel," had this to say regarding Clark's attack this morning, which lumped Kerry and Edwards together as "typical insider politicians" who supported George Bush:
"Wesley Clark is doing what desperate politicians do when they are losing ground - resorting to misleading negative political attacks.
"It is ironic that somebody who made hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying the Bush administration and changed his positions on numerous issues would now accuse others of acting like Washington politicians. His attacks are nothing but distortions.
"The fact is that Senator Edwards doesn't just complain about No Child Left Behind -- he has a proposed a concrete, specific plan to fix it and improve our schools.
"Senator Edwards also voted against President Bush on important issues like trade, jobs, and tax cuts for the wealthy more than any other Senator in 2003 according to Congressional Quarterly.
"These negative attacks from Wesley Clark represent the very type of political, petty sniping voters are so tired of. As Senator Edwards rightly points out, voters are looking for a candidate with a positive, optimistic agenda to change America and that is what Senator Edwards will continue to discuss with voters."
