Democrats tap into military tradition
EFL - of all but a little stupidity.
John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, won the Iowa caucuses and Wesley Clark, a former four-star US Army general, is one of the front-runners for Tuesday’s vote. Mr Clark and Mr Kerry are certainly not typical Democratic candidates. According to Dennis Johnson, an associate dean at George Washington University, Democrats historically have been weak in fielding "warriors".
A crack baby dean from GW speaks and the BBC prints it. Jimmah Carter, JFK. Even peace-nik George McGovern was a war hero. True not many generals run as Democrats but few run as Republicans either. Not many Generals have run at all since the Mexican War and the Indian wars. Most leave the service and are ready for retirement as generallying is ususally a 7-day a week 14 hour a day enterprise.

Colin Powell makes a much more credible Democratic presidential than Clark. Clark has made so many previous statements that make him incompatible with the current DNC that his candidacy is a joke.
