A site for and about the Democratic Party and it's politics (in the spirit of DKos-- I'm an unapolegetic Kossack myself) with the objective of helping to elect as many Democrats as possible in both this year and '08. For and about includes history and how we got here so we can figure out the road map out. And that covers a lot of ground. Add your two cent's worth. No refunds.Be advised this is very much a pro Wes Clark site.

What Wes Clark Is Doing



As one can see from the map on the right Wes
Clark is busy making the rounds on the electoral circuit. The blue ones are the ones Gen Clark has been
to,or going to be appearing in,working hard to get Democrats elected across the country. Recently he was
on the trail hard for Ned Lamont in his contest against
WesPAC Securing America (full details of Gen.Clarks
Campaign for Democrats here.)
former Democrat Joe
Lieberman. This is a critical race in what is a blue state
where the other Republican candidate is not even on the radar screen. Wes Clark has recognized the importance of this race for a while,speaking up immediatly after the primary selected Lamont to be the Democratic standard bearer in this contest. He urged Lieberman to end his quest as a Republican leaning Independant and do the right thing by supporting the partys choice for the Senate nomination. Of course we all
know that Nomentum was to arrogant to do anything else but to continue
his stealth GOP funded campaign. Clark has also been out in support of Joe Sestak in Penn 07 whose campaign is looking good right now. When the Clark and Lamont
results are counted in November Wes Clark will be able to take a lot of credit for making Republicans feel blue.

Thanks for featuring the map showing Clark's travels. Just wanted to point out that the states are only colored in after the General has been there. He's wearing out some shoe leather traveling everywhere for Democrats this year.

And thanks for the clarification. Clark has worked hard. Right now he's defending several Democrats from the usual GOP Swift Boat attempts. I'll be posting about that.

As Wes says, "Elections are won with your feet." And his feet sure are doing lots of work.

A lot of these races are going to come down to shoe leather on election day. It will take a lot of work to counter act very strong Republican machines. the numbers may not favor them but they still have strong organizations.
