Wesley Clark is the Dark Horse
Senator Clinton's negatives are now to 52% according to Gallup, the highest of any candidate in the human history of the Democratic Party. Up from 46% about nine months ago. The more money she spends the more her negatives go up. And with all due respect, John Edwards, who recently cited Paris Hilton as poster-child for his “two Americas” pitch is drifting into Triple A. A few of the other Democrats who want to be President are so forgettable that most can’t even remember their names.
In contrast, Mitt Romney is beginning to boom and will continue to do. Romney is smart as paint, is a masterful administrator and is very rich. Any of these Democratic contenders against Romney will fail. But this time we approach a catastrophic failure. It will be the Democrats fourth total failure since Eisenhower.

Waiting for America’s Son:
Why Wes Must Run
The surge is George W. Bush’s greatest strategic error in a sterling legacy of greatest hits. Had he listened to the Baker Commission, he could have crafted a graceful and responsible turn around which most Americans would have welcomed and honored.

Suddenly a Southern General:
Wes Clark Is The Last Best Hope for the Democratic Party
When Wesley Clark arrived in Concord, New Hampshire, to sign the book and officially enter the New Hampshire primary, there were few on hand to greet him. But it was a wonder that anyone was there at all.
Silver-haired Southern Generals had less than made their mark here in New England’s north country where New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine blend into their own distinct and independent-minded province.
We get Willy Nelson today in Bernie’s TV ads. Everyone calls Vermont’s Senate candidate Bernie Sanders by his first name as he is one of us. (I think Bernie’s got it. At the Tunbridge farm fair in Vermont yesterday, I saw hundreds of people wearing Bernie stickers and only one wearing a Tarrant sticker and that was Tarrant.) And in truth, Willy seems more likely to belong here. But a Southern General? As time passed us by like a river which brought us here then headed South, then Southwest and West and across the Pacific on its auspicious American journey, we’d all but forgotten our soldiers.

A Democratic Party with Southern Characteristics
Mark Warner’s decision not to run for President left a large hole in Democratic politics. Warner, born in Indiana and reared in Connecticut, brought a winning smile and a winning strategy to the campaign trail. He campaigned for his Virginia Governor’s seat at Big Top churches and at the NASCAR track, where Nantucket liberals fear to tread.

The Helter Skelter Turning
It's a sad sad story when a mother will teach her Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
- The Dixie Chicks
We are rapidly approaching the Helter Skelter turning point. That place of crisis and relief where the culture flips, and everything good and inspiring that ascended us to this point in the last 20 years or so suddenly spirals downward, and is sent into shadow overnight. And the good of it and the pious intentions of the incompetent and incapable who managed to reach such astonishing heights of high authority in so many places and bring us there with them are forgotten and despised. Only the chaos, the incompetence and the sadness caused are vaguely recalled. History is made of moments like this.

The Lieberman Defeat:
Wes Clark’s Party or George McGovern’s?
What a difference a day makes. I think the unfortunate Joe Lieberman of Connecticut fell victim to fate when he lost his primary race yesterday. Had his primary been held tomorrow, or next week, after everyone had seen Oliver Stone’s new movie about two courageous Port Authority officers trapped under the rubble of the World Trade Center, things might have been different.

Born in Texas
“I am delighted to be here with you this evening because after listening to George Bush all these years, I figured you needed to know what a real Texas accent sounds like.”
Ann Richards
Could be that we are all destined to be born again as Americans in Texas. Could be that something will happen in Texas to make us different kinds of individuals in the world and a different kind of country. Something from which there will be no going back. Could be that destiny awaits us in Texas. The great visionary Salvador Dali saw a cosmic man-child, Geopoliticus Child, born there in the desert; hatched there, hatched out of a world egg. A new man for a new millennium beholding to none who came before.
