I’m Torn: Dean vs. Clark

Posted on September 18th, 2003 • tagged

Now that Wesley Clark has entered the presidential race, I’m torn. I’ve been leaning heavily towards Howard Dean. I like what Dean has to say and how he says it, for the most part. However, I’m still a bit concerned about his electability. Clark, on the other hand, seems to have some serious electability (in a very vague, shallow definition of that word), but I haven’t heard enough about his stands on the issues. There’s also the issue of Clark having never run for office: a good thing and a bad thing. He’s also a homeboy, being from Arkansas, like me.

In any event, I’d really like to see a Dean/Clark or Clark/Dean final ticket against Bush/Cheney (assuming Cheney stays alive). Either way, assuming they don’t screw it up, it could be eight years of one then eight years of the other. I could live with that, I think.
