Clark with Big Lead
By Byron LaMasters
One poll might be a fluke, but take a look at this:
Among registered Democrats polled, Clark led in the race for the nomination with 22%, followed by Dean with 13%, Kerry and Gephardt with 11% and Lieberman with 10% Other Democrats got 4% or less.
And there's this:
If retired General Wesley Clark were the Democratic Party's candidate and George W. Bush were the Republican Party's candidate, who would you be more likely to vote for — Wesley Clark, the Democrat or George W. Bush, the Republican?
All: Clark 48, Bush 46
Registered Voters: Clark 49, Bush 46.

I'm going to wait for polls that weren't conducted as he was announcing his campaign to see if it isn't more than a name in the news burst. Plus neither of those takes into account his initial flip-flops and missteps this week.
I'll look to next weeks polls and reerve judgement until then. :)
I am guessing from your list of links on the side that at least one of you is a Dean supporter. So I just wanted to let you know, in case you did not already know, that the bat is back up and the campaign is trying to raise $5 million in ten days. So if you have not already donated to the effort and would like to, you can donate here. If you would like to put the bat on your website and link it to the contribution page, the img src is http://images.deanforamerica.com/bat/5.5.bat.gif. Keep up the good work with your site and hopefully January 2005 will bring you reprieve from ten years under Bush control.
How do you figure a "big lead" to be one that is within the margin of error?
Clark is off to a good start, mainly because he is seen as giving the liberals the illusion of being tough on security and military issues. Something of which they desperately need to convince their sheep.
