With Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Tom Vilsack already in and John Kerry, Barack Obama, and Hillary Rodham Clinton looking to get in, I think we need to move to encourage General Wesley K. Clark to respond to a second draft.
Thats why I hope we can use this poll here as part of a petition to encourage the General to run.
Here is the deal, I am not saying General Clark needs this petition, but I think the more people who sign this petition shows the potential and the continued strength of Clark in both the grassroots and webroots. It will be yet another visible symbol that the leadership offered by D.C. seated politicians is not the answer in 2008.
I believe Clark is the best candidate for a number of reasons of which I will enumerate some key ones right now :
1.) IRAQ - First of all, of any of the candidates running, Wesley Clark has the most consistent and the most feasibly intelligent plan to extract U.S. Troop involvement while providing some sense of order to that nation and theater of operations. Also, lets not forget, as the Supreme Allied Commander, Clark went into a conflict and emerged with a victory and without a single fatality of U.S. Troops and Personnel. This is something even Eisenhower or another similar U.S. Commander could boast about.
2.) POLITICALLY - If the Republicans as expected nominate John McCain or Rudy Guiliani, they will wave the flag, and talk about patriotism. Who better than to speak to these issues then the one candidate who challenged us to remember this flag belongs to ALL of us and whose life story is a testament to patriotism at its finest.
3.) FAIRNESS - None of the other candidates have a record in fighting and speaking out about equal rights. For some its easier to speak to these issues but for others it comes as a way of life. Clark is the one candidate who can put it all together and whose way of life is one of fairness and equality.
So please, if you agree with me or not, as long as you agree Wes Clark is the best choice for 2008, join with me in signing the petition and lets get the best candidate for President into the race.
