Well, that seals it. Clark is destined to be President:
As for the conventional wisdom that says Clark is too late to the party to raise funds and build support, co-founder Josh Margulies trots out the practiced answer: "The last time a Rhodes scholar from Arkansas announced against an incumbent named Bush who had just won a war in Iraq, he did okay. And he declared in October."
Ya gotta luv logic like that.
And is the "Draft Clark" movement as pathetic as the article makes it sound, or is the author trying to be cutesy?
I am going with pathetic.
He promises a toast to Wesley at 8:04 p.m. -- "that's 20:04 in military time, 2024, get it?" -- and an auction of dinner for two, which consists of MREs, a Draft Wesley mug and a dessert of Clark bars. "Do you know how hard it is to find Clark bars?" muses Hlinko. "My cousin spent the entire day online, and he finally found a distributor in Pittsburgh." Apparently, they speculate, Clark bars have been eclipsed by Butterfingers. This may be because they taste like "chocolate-covered barley," says Hlinko.

Isn't it interesting the article doesn't indicate a support base for Clark from the folks that worked for him during his military career? Having spoken to a few folks who did, it's not such a big surprise...
