1/ The press loves him. That's always a bad sign.
2/ He has no political experience, but in interviews,
he talks like a typical politician: in other words,
like a snake. He won't call Bush a liar
outright; instead, he says it in a weasely way, ostensibly to
not offend anyone who likes Bush.
3/ He has not yet made it even remotely clear what his domestic policies are.
4/ On his website, he hardly provides any concrete proposals, but he does say this:
"... as we improve communications and empower
more international trade and finance, firms will naturally
shift production and services to areas where
the costs are lower. In the near term we should aim to create in
America the best business environment in the
world - using a variety of positive incentives to keep American
jobs and businesses here, attract business from
abroad, and to encourage the creation of new jobs..."
He wants to create a more positive business climate
than countries which have no environmental regulations,
and pay pennies per hour. He as much as
says that operating costs should be lower in the US.
How does he propose to do this?
His emphasis on business, and the press' obsession
with him, leads me to believe that he is going to be
staunchly on the side of big business and against
labor.
Right now my money is going strictly to Kucinich... but I think Dean is, at least for now, much more palatable that Clark.
Keep swinging.

Rob, I'm a one-issue guy this coming election. The only
thing I care about is
kicking that unelected
murdering
moron-bastard
out of the White House.
If it seems like Clark has the best chance of doing that, he's got my vote.
