81. Why wasn't his campaign truthful from the start?
http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/oct2003/nf2003101_0874_db038.htm

"A Clark campaign spokesman at first told BusinessWeek that the former general had in fact updated his voter registration to reflect his newfound status as a Democrat. But a call to the Pulaski County Voter Registrar indicated otherwise. When asked to explain the discrepancy, campaign consultant Mark Fabiani says Clark hadn't yet had time to register as a Democrat."

========

I'm not so much concerned about the technicalities of being a registered Democrat as I am about his team not being honest about it from the get-go.

If they truly do believe that "Clark's independent record -- coupled with the fact that he voted for Ronald Reagan -- could boost his bipartisan appeal in a general election," then they should have been making a big issue out his being an unaffiliated voter, rather than concealing that fact.
