I love Digby and look forward to the audio clip of your program, Glenn.
On the other issue, I love Wes Clark and would be thrilled to see him as the VP nominee, but is it a good idea for the net roots to try to encourage one nominee over another? After all, assuming that the VP candidate would have to work closely with the President, I would trust that the presidential nominee would choose someone based not only on qualifications, but also on personality and compatibility. I'm afraid that when Obama doesn't choose Wes Clark (as it seems unlikely that he will) it will be yet another moment when thousands of people will blog their disappointment when it is really essential now that everyone come together for the cause. It really is getting to the point where we must all "fish or cut bait" in the sense that we either are going to support this nominee, or he's not going to win. I choose to support Obama. I've been and aremain an enthusiastic supporter, despite the fact that he's made some pronouncements and decisions that I disagree with. Even if I weren't enthusiastic though, I'd try to muster whatever single minded dedication I could for this cause, which is after all a war that we are fighting to save this country from four more years of unmitigated collapse.
