Wesley Clark - will he outflank the field?

"This is going to come down to a two-man race, Dean and the anti-Dean," says political analyst Charlie Cook. "Someone has to be the anti-Dean.... [and] Clark because of his late start would at least have an excuse why he might not do well in Iowa and New Hampshire."

EL - In order, Clark harms Kerry - military hero, Lieberman - moderate/conservative favorite, Dean - outsider, Edwards - attractive Southern new voice, and Gephardt - moderate. It is still very good for the Democratic party having a military expert running. Just as it is good that Kucinach, Sharpton and Braun are in the race even if they don't have a chance of winning a campaign against GW. The Democratic party is the party of the people who are well-represented in these candidates.
