Clark is a Media phenomenon, nothing else

A Fearful Symmetry puts Gen. Clark in the first rank of Dem candidates. I must disagree. Clark is a media phenomena with no grass roots support. Its an entirely top down candidacy. Kerry and Gephardt attract core constituancies of the Dems, but you have to draw more than a few core groups. Dean is the only one with broad appeal among the Dem base, and because of that and the fact that he's the only one (other than Edwards, I guess) with charisma, Dean will be the nominee. Barring of course a bolt from the blue. Clark's candidacy is to possition him to be a Cheney-like VP/key foriegn policy advisor. There's nothing else to it.
