Cards on the table: I'm a Clark supporter. I really, really, really want him to run. And I'm a little perplexed by Obamamania. He seems to be to have great potential but not yet to be a President (whereas Wes has the least to learn next to Al Gore).
That said, in a comment thread on another diary, I repeated something I thought I knew about Obama's voting record. No need to replicate the meme here; let's just say I was flat-out wrong, and should have checked. I'm not going to blame the rushed character of the comment or whatever -- it was laziness on my part.
My apologies to Obama and Obama supporters.
So, what are the lessons?
Lesson 1: Don't say shit about someone's voting or position unless I read something authoritative first (like, for example, the published voting record.)
Lesson 2: Don't get caught up in highly wishful 2008 Presidential threads.
Lesson 3: Paint with a smaller brush.
