Kerry is too stoic and wooden (a better coiffed version of Al Gore in my opinion) and Clark flip-flops all the time on issues and beliefs, then gets mad when he is caught flip-flopping.
There is a lack of message, and worse, a lack of charisma. Right or wrong, at least Bush has been very consistent in most of his beliefs - so you know what you'll get, whether you like it or not. The Dems are too chameleon in this campaign.

I agree with you on a few points. I differ on the Dean statement. I felt his post-Iowa rant was unfortunate, but I think he is rebounding well. I also, disagree that Kerry is better coiffed (his hair bothers me ..lol).
I agree, Clark is a Republican in Democrat's clothing and his praise of the Bush's in the past will come back to haunt him if wins the Demo nod (which he won't).
Someone made a good point tonight in the debate. They have to win by standing for core Democratic beliefs and not trying to be like the GOP. Democrats need to focus less on saying the right thing in order to win.
