How very cool would this be!!! And NYC is one of the possible destinations....I can't help but hope, however, that this one goes for some astronomical figure, well beyond my price range, just becuase it really would be worth that much.

He is so generous to do this.

The money donated to this would be so worth the expense...but if I won this thing, I would have a huge problem...I wouldn't be able to get my tongue untied...

The last time I had the chance to speak to him (back in fall of 2003!), all I could get out was "General Clark, you're a breath of fresh air. Thanks for coming." With that, a handshake.

The words still stand today. He *is* a breath of fresh air. We need that badly.

I'm just sayin! 

Edit:  OK.  Where'd the terrific photo go?  Dang that Mercury!

I can't compete for this, but I wish the very best of wishes for whoever wins!

Who or what benefits from the auction? Netroots Nation itself?

Hey, psst maybe Pittsburgh could be added as a potential host city? As people are bidding nationally but many people aware of the Netroots Nation auction might be planning to be in Pittsburgh for the conference, which would widen the array of potential bidders. I guess you can't schedule him out that far in advance. 

Milton Friedman's great misfortune is that his policies have been tried. -Naomi Klein, quoting John Kenneth Galbraith

really wonderful opportunity in my opinion. I wish that I could afford it!

However I consider myself very fortunate to have met and talked with both Gen. Clark and Gert at several events!

Listening to Gen. Clark is a real treat because I always learn something new that I did not know before after I hear him speak!

then it can be more affordable, that is if it's within your budget.

I would if I could, but I can't so I won't.

Update on the auction:

"Hot Items!"...along with a Deadheads for Obama T-Shirt (currently at $45) and some meat from Nebraska (at $155). :)

“The Obama campaign could have said they agreed with me. Go ask them why they didn’t stand up for me.” ~ Wes Clark regarding the McCain comment brouhaha, as reported by student blogger Jason Plautz

Too bad I don't have a spare credit card. Ah well, I did get to do the Photo Trip thing. That was awesome!

If interested, Netroots Nation has Pelosi's book going for $18.

The title of the book is: KNOW YOUR POWER: A Message to America's Daughters

ROFL... That's ok Speaker Pelosi, there's no need to read the book. I believe our daughters got your message during the primary season--when you had Hillary's back...(not).

“The Obama campaign could have said they agreed with me. Go ask them why they didn’t stand up for me.” - Gen. Clark

re: coffee with Wesley Clark

As of Friday, Oct 17th, the high bid is $1,500. :)
