Hello fellow Clarkies!

* I know that many Clarkies have decided to support Hillary. I respect Wes's endorsement but have decided that (at least for now) I'll be rooting for someone else. Please don't take this diary as an attack on any candidate.

Tomorrow, a relatively small percentage of the population in a relatively small state will make a relatively huge decision that will impact the presidential race in profound ways. Together, Iowa and New Hampshire literally have the power to shape this country’s future.

This is my letter to the President of the Iowa College Republicans who said some things in an interview recently that I found completely unfair. You can watch it here...

This is what I had to say to him...

Hi Benjamin. I am a college student at the Universtiy of Washington in Seattle. I don't know how I came across it but I saw a video of you on youtube talking to The Independent and I wanted to write you respectfully not to attack you, but because I disagree with you.

General Wes Clark
PO Box 3276
Little Rock, AR 72203

Dear General Clark,

I was very fortunate to meet you when you visited Seattle in early October for your book signing at the private reception attended by Stan Davis, Kelly Flinn, Darcy Burner, and others. I go to the University of Washington and I’d like to update you on some good news and also share some more serious thoughts with you. I hope you can spend several minutes considering them.

My Speech on Preventative War

Hello folks! I just got back from debating the UW college republicans a little while ago and I put the video of my closing remarks on youtube so you all could have a look! We were debating Preemptive war but me and my debate partner tried to show how republicans take the definition of imminent threat, exaggerate it, and what we end up with is actually preventative war, which is something completely different. At the beginning that got cut off I said "When a man is holding a gun to your head, what do you do?

Takin' it to the streets

Hello citizens of Clarkdom! Using the internet these days, it is extremely easy to get like minded people organized and moving. Just take DraftGore.com as an example. Using online tools, the group has been able to round up 216,000 signatures to their petition. Take DraftClark in 2003 as another example. People using the organizing power of internet were able to directly influence who was running for president. It is obvious that our country is a better place today because of Wes Clark’s campaign and because of the ideas that he has been able to inject into our national bank of ideas.

Stephen Colbert for President!

It's official. Stephen Cobert is running for president...in South Carolina. He is going to run as a democrat and a republican.

Colbert said, "Nation, after 15 minutes of soul searching, I have heard the call."

Here is the article...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/17/colbert.president.ap/index.html

I think this is awesome. Oviously he is not going to win, but I think he's going to use this opportunity to mock the system and force us to take a hard look at it. Wouldn't it be great if he got like 15% in SC? If not Clark, Gore. If not Gore....Colbert.

;)

When I heard the things Rush Limbaugh was saying about Wes Clark my blood boiled. I made this video earlier and had to reupload it because there were some problems. Please watch it and SPREAD IT.

Thanks all

Wes Clark for Vice President Makes Perfect Sense

The last two Vice Presidents have been the most powerful in history. The office has taken on more and more importance in recent years and it seems that we are going to have to pick a darn good one to either calm some of the anti-Hillaryism or negate some of the Barack’s-not-experienced-ism if we are going to win. Wesley Clark does both.

I Finally Meet Wes Clark

This Tuesday I got out of class at 9:30 am. I had nothing to do until 3:15 pm, when I was to be picked up and brought to the private reception being put on for General Clark in Seattle. He was in town for a book singing at Third Place Books later that night. I was nervous after class and got absolutely nothing done at all from the time I was released from class to the time I got dressed and ready to go – I didn’t even eat lunch. It was that bad.
