Governor/Doctor Dean is the real deal. He's going to raise more money than any other Democrats (even more than Clinton when he was running for office), and without a single corporate backer. It's all grassroots people donating 30 to 50 bucks, mostly online. Dean did all the hard work, and here Clark decide to enter late. Clark even had a domain name similiar to Dean,(DeanforAmerica vs. AmercansforClark-but weeks later, they changed it to Clark04) and even temporarily 'borrowed' a Dean meetup logo on thier website.
Dean's a pragmatist, so he gets wacked by his own party for it. You have Kerry, Lieberman, Gephardt, and even extreme liberal Kucinich attacking him in every turn.
The Washington Democrats are pussies.

C'mon. If you like Dean, that is fine, but trying to bash Clark is quite funny. You know why you are not trying to bash Braun? Because she is not a threat. Dean is getting bashed because he is a front runner, not because he is a pragmatist. Clark is getting bashed because he is a serious threat. Nature of the beast.
Plus, if you want to bash Clark, come up with the good stuff. How about the "starting WWIII" remarks in Kosovo? What about his supposed involvment in the Waco incident? How about General Sheldon's statements concerning Clark? What about his "firing" by the Clinton administration? There is so much crap that is going to keep Clark in the headlines for a long time that, whether you like it or not, his face is going to be all over your tv. The flip-flop with the war issue and his Republican fundraising speech in '01 was just the tip of the iceburg. Similar domain names is really low on the bashing scale.
