I've been waiting since Carter for the Democrats to run a candidate worth
voting for. Clark looked like a possibility this time but he is quickly
killing his chances.
He needs to stop the Bush bashing and start promoting his own ideas, people
are sick to death of negative campaigns. Odds are looking good at the moment
for a Bush victory in 2004, but alot can happen in a year.

I've been waiting since Carter for the Democrats to run a candidate worth
voting for. Clark looked like a possibility this time but he is quickly
killing his chances.
He needs to stop the Bush bashing and start promoting his own ideas, people
are sick to death of negative campaigns. Odds are looking good at the moment
for a Bush victory in 2004, but alot can happen in a year.

Yes. Read every post I've made LP, I've answered this a dozen times. You're
the scientist, you tell me. If an item is created, and is not destroyed in

child I'll treat you like one.
