Neo
I'm also positive he's not running. He's done with politics, and is instead concentrating on running bad TV networks.
He is no longer "boring", IMO. Have you heard his recent speeches? His problem in 2000 was that he was too camera-conscious and was not crisp in his message.
and how he look at people as if they where retarded they may be but you don't do that to win Presidential election.
He looked down and sighed at George Dumbya Bush as if the latter is a retard (I do agree that that may have cost him votes and possibly the election; But I am sure that Gore won't be sighing in 2008 debates should he be the nominee :)). But in W's case, that's hard to resist, don't you agree?
He took some of the most progressive positions of any of the 04 candidates, was probably the only one willing to use the "L" word (liberal) to describe himself, and was utterly fearless in calling out Bush, Rove and DeLay by name.
Many have expressed skepticism of Clark because of their preconceptions of military officers, or because he has no voting record as an elected official. But if you take a closer look at his military career, you'll see a documented history of defending progressive values, especially in regards to human rights, the environment, and making education and access to health care a priority of effort and funds. The fact that he stood up for these things within the military culture, where it often made him no friends among the other brass, should tell you something.
