[Vision2020] Clark Democratic front runner according to new poll, 43-47% against Bush

Sat, 20 Sep 2003 11:54:46 -0700 (PDT)

Donovan,
      A lead in a national poll is nice. Joe Lieberman
had one for quite a while before the good General
entered the fray.
      But the problem is the individual stateprimaries
and caucuses. Those are the polls that matter at this
point. And leading those means organization, or as
Clark might say "boots on the ground." 
      The key question is can Clark overcome the fact
that Dean et al have made as many as 50 trips to Iowa
over the past year or so. And that they've sewn up
many, many endorsements and committments from key
organizers in both Iowa and NH. 
   Also, with Dean and Kerry from neighboring states,
they'll be hard to beat there. I guess if Clark can
make a decent show in both those states he could still
be OK. 
   Clinton did. 
   But Clinton was a politico practically from birth.
Clark has never been in a position to be examined
microscopically in a national or even statewide media
limelight.
   If Clark can quit committing gaffes like saying on
Thursday that he would have probably voted for the
Iraqi war and reversing himself completely yesterday,
he might have a chance. 
   But, even if with most of Clinton's former campaign
pros in his organization, Clark is way too poltically
inexperienced to say he'll be able to maintain any
bump he caught from his announcment this week. 
  It's way to early for that. There are just way too
many "ifs" at this point.

Newsweek Poll puts Clark in the lead in the Democratic
race and is in a statisical dead heat with Bush.
43%-47% with a plus or minus margin of 3% in a head to
head match against Bush. Dean only get 38% against
Bush.
