The false anger of Republicans can only be explained in one way, they are insanely afraid of Wes Clark as a Vice President. They have got to discredit Clark to make him less palatable as a Vice Presidential Candidate. Why? The only thing McCain has going for him is that his military service somehow suppossedly better qualifies him to be President on national security issues. His only strength turns into a weakness if General Clark is nominated as his Vice President. This would be devasting to his campaign; the only advantage he has, if he even has one here, would be gone. How could he claim the military high ground when his opponent's right hand man is a General who successful led NATO?
What, did Obama's campaign just turn stupid? After months and months of excellent work they blow it in a week. They had a chance for a knock out blow but instead went back to their corner. Denouncing what Clark said, what are they imbeciles? For God sakes Obama, retract your denouciation of Mr. Clark and say you had a chance to review the tapes and after hearing what you said you would agree. Yes, of course McCain was hero, not for fighting or getting shot down, but for not jumping in front of other captives when prisoners were being released. Having said that, however, just because he was a prisoner doesn't mean he is more knowledgeable or capable on security issues. Frankly, his position over the last five years is nothing but screw ups. For God sakes take a stand on something that puts this election to rest early. Get in Clark's corner and nominate him as your Vice President. Don't you see what the Republicans do, he is your knock out blow.
