  • Clearly, at this point anyway, the other Dems don't see Clark as the front-runner, but rather still see Dean as the occupier of that slot:

    Retired Army Gen. Wesley K. Clark was the object of curiosity, while former Vermont governor Howard Dean was the target for attack.

    [...]

    In contrast to Clark, Dean was very much at the center of the action throughout the debate, most of the time on the defensive.

    That is to say that if the other Nine felt more threatened by Clark, there would have been more attacks--the opportunity was certainly there. As it is, they clearly consider Dean the main threat (as the poll numbers from NH show) and are going to wait and see on Clark. I still think a lot of them are thinking he would be a great running mate, and so will probably not attack unless he becomes a bigger threat to their positions.

    Just dumb political analysis from Steven. Just terrible.

    Shorter Steven Taylor: Clark is not viable nominee because the other candidates went on the offensive against the front-runner, Dean.

    You can't make this stuff up, folks.

    For someone like Steven who believes Clark is an irrelevant candidate, Steven spends an awful lot of time on the Clark candidacy.

    Clark simply hasn't said enough in his campaign to be skillfully attacked by the other candidates. Wait and watch.

    Bingo, Aaron. In a few short words, you provided a far more accurate and compelling political analysis.
