    Wes we can't

    I gave money to Wes Clark's campaign in 2004 the moment he announced.

    Alas, we learned that Wes Cark cannot campaign as well as he looks on paper.

    Like John Edwards did running for VP in '04 and Bill Richardson did this past campaign, Wes Clark stammers, chokes and second-guesses himself when it's time to deliver the sharp, smart rhetoric.

    Clark is just not fast enough on his feet. In fact, Barack is the only candidate out there who, when off script, speaks clearly, intelligently and as if he's addressing grownups. May he bring that art back into fashion.
