Over the past few weeks, as it became more and more (depressingly) clear that Gen. Clark is not going to join the 2008 presidential race, I've given a lot of thought to where to put my support, and I reached the exact same conclusion as Wes. But then, I'm originally from Europe where Hillary is far more popular than here.

So two weeks ago I joined the Hillary campaign, still ready to switch back to Wes at moment's notice.

Dear General Clark,

Since the fall of 2003 I have been quietly but actively involved in your work. On the Western Slope of Colorado in what was an extremely red state, my drive to promote your ideas, your issues, and what I felt at the time were the most important words spoken about the diversion from the war in Afghanistan to Iraq by the neo-cons in this administration is endless.

Prior to that, I watched CNN for your reports on the war in Afghanistan, knowing that you were true to your word.

After the 2004 election, I’ve been involved with your efforts to support Democratic candidates. WesPac/Securing America is the blog where I know I may get the real news of the day. Whenever there has been a call to action, I have been there.
