Listen to what America is saying about Wes Clark
The media needs to wake up to what America is saying about Wes Clark. Here is a nice little personal report from South Carolina.

The buzz on Clark, fresh from a Red State Barnes and Noble.
I'm just in from my weekly jaunt to the large Barnes and Noble here in town (Yes, I do mean weekly - I'm a bookworm of the rabid hardcore variety), and thought I'd pass along a little anecdotal observation.
I had already grabbed two new books to buy, and was looking for General Clark's Waging Modern Wars, as I've read his second book but not the first. Unable to find it, I went to the help desk, where 7 or 8 people were milling about.
The employee punched it in to the computer, and noted aloud that not only was it not in stock, it was on backorder. As a matter of fact, none of the 3 large stores in our area can keep his two books or his biography in stock, noted the employee.
Seeing an opportunity as he arranged to put in an order for me, I said, "I am really, really hoping that General Clark will run for president again in 2008."
The employee replied, "I think the problem is that he has no name recognition right now. They never talk about him."
Me: "Well they SHOULD be talking about him!"
Random standing-around customer #1: "He has more sense than the lot of them."
Random standing-around customer #2: "Isn't that the military guy that's on Fox all the time? He seems pretty smart to me."
It was a small thing. Just a little casual interaction at the bookstore. But there were more than half a dozen people there, here in the reddest-of-red South Carolina, and several of them knew who he was, and expressed a positive opinion. As for the others - well, they overheard it all.
Butterfly wings and tsunamis, folks. Butterfly wings and tsunamis.
