Serve with the General - Final Round Voting is Open!

I am just passing on a contest. This contest is to see where Wes Clark will go to help support and raise funds. This contest/fundraiser is being conducted with Democrats Work

The first round votes have been counted and we are down to the final five!
http://democratswork.org/index.php?page= display&id=140

Thousands and thousands of people cast first round votes in "Serve with the General" - the contest that will send General Wes Clark to one lucky Congressional District to participate in a community service project. The race to get into the final round was extremely close!

Now it is time to pick from the final five districts:
Washington's 8th (Darcy Burner),
California's 4th (Charlie Brown),
North Carolina's 10th (Daniel Johnson),
Colorado's 4th (Betsy Markey), or
Minnesota's 3rd (Ashwin Madia).
You get to decide where Democrats will roll up their sleeves at a community service event with General Clark this summer.

Every district starts back at zero votes for the final round, so make sure you cast a final round vote. Cast your vote by clicking here!

The final round of voting ends this Friday, June 6th, at 12:00 midnight eastern time.

I hate to say it, but couldn't he make stops for more than one of them? It seems kind of a bummer to get all five candidates' hopes up but to pick only one.

Oh trust me (2.00 / 1)

he will. This is simply a contest that is being conducted with Democrats Work. Helps in getting people excited. I want him to come here so I can meet him again and work with him again!

In 2006, Wes Clark was one of the most sought after surrogates amongst the Democrats, this came from Howard Dean.

Yes indeed (2.00 / 1)

He has around a 45% chance of winning the open seat here.  If he can draw Paulsen away from hiding behind the former incumbent Ramstead (who was very popular and moderate), he'll win, if not he'll lose.  Also if the RNC doesn't play in MN that helps him out a lot too.

You are a good surrogate for Madia.  Because of your diary, I voted for him.  Hopefully the general comes your way.

All I did was link dump (2.00 / 1)

I hope that Wes goes and works for all five of these candidates because they are all future rock stars of the party.

But thanks for the praise,  I have gone to a few of his events, and I hope to write a better diary plugging him later this summer.

I <3 Wes (2.00 / 3)

It sucks there can be just one--but I love Wes Clark. He was my first choice next to Hillary and I supported him in 2004 while he was still in the race. He's truly been a workhorse for the Democrats and I'd love to see him on the ticket as Obama's VP.
