twitterLetter: Clark is needed in Oval Office
Monday, Oct. 6, 2003 | 8:45 a.m.
I've been registered as an independent voter for most of my adult life. In presidential races I vote for the man, and hopefully in the future, for the woman. I never vote just for the party.
Over the years I've made a few poor choices, but never as bad as when I voted for President George W. Bush. With retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark becoming a Democratic candidate for the presidency, I believe I can rectify my previous mistake. Clark's credentials are quite impressive. He was a Rhodes Scholar, he graduated first in his class in 1966 at West Point, he headed the U.S. European Command and as Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces he led the 1999 campaign in Kosovo.
He promises to "talk straight" to the American people. That's a rarity one seldom encounters in and out of politics. Go for it, general. We need you more than you can ever imagine.
