First it just brought out a lot acrimony left over from the primaries. Rather than stating "Is Clark on the left of the Democratic party" which is pretty neutral--it is "Is Clark on the left of Dean", not Kerry, not Edwards, not DK, not Sharpton, not Gep or any of the other candidates who ran in '04--but Dean. When it singles out one person it becomes a contest between the supporters of Clark and Dean. I don't think either man has to defend their liberal principles. And both are preferable to what we have. It is easy to say that maybe Clark is more liberal than Dean because Dean has a 12 year record as Governor where he has had to take on a variety of issues. Still overwhelmingly he would have had a positive record to present to the American people and one much better than Bush. Clark, may very well be more liberal--I guess we are talking degrees, but we can't really say for sure because we don't know how he would govern. It would be interesting if he would run for Gov. of Ark or something and maybe have a couple of years of governing to get an idea.
