Dammit, another Clark post.

by

This is my last freakin’ one.

As foretold by the Prophecies of Aberjian,* the Democratic field must reduce to two contenders: the DEAN and the NOT DEAN. These two shall then battle, Thunderdome-style, to the death. Tina Turner will officiate. Thus has it been foretold, thus shall it be.

Now, we know who the DEAN is. (Or at least think we do.) But who shall be the NOT DEAN?

Perhaps we shall soon have our answer. The latest New Hampshire tracking poll shows Clark pulling even with Kerry in New Hampshire. Josh Marshall, reading the tea leaves, prepares the ritual oil to annoint Clark as the NOT DEAN. (Kaus, checking his file, agrees.) Kos, on the other hand, previously reviewed the bones and believes that the Thunderdome-method may be the wrong way to go. He hopes to pull off the difficult task of merging Dean and Clark, Voltron-Style.

As for me, well: Kerry had a recent surge in the nationwide polls, but he’s nearly kaput. Clark’s statements that he won’t be Dean’s running mate seem to foreclose Kos’s hope. And if Gephardt doesn’t win convincingly in Iowa . . . .

*OK, fine, so the Prophecies of Aberjian actually involve a vampire with a soul regaining his/her humanity. I missed the requisite Buffy/Angel reference last week, so I’m making it up.

    I was chuckling until this graf.
    When I hit the bold part, I nearly lost what I was drinking.
    Don’t DO that. 😀

  4. Von, you are so getting Clarkbotted for this post.
    If that is half as bad as it sounds, maybe I should take it down . . . .

  6. Ah, I take it you haven’t heard of our friendly neighborhood Clarkbot yet.
    Oh, gads. That’s the last post for me on Clark, then.

  9. I don’t buy that Clark’s denying interest in a combined ticket is evidence of anything. Could he possibly say ‘yeah, I’ll be his VP’ or even ‘I would consider it’ while still campaigning for President? Talk about surrendering unilaterally.
    Not that I have any evidence he is interested. But campaign comments are no evidence that he isn’t.
    And SecDefense isn’t a bad job, anyway.

  11. Thanks.
    Can you fix the thing where my later response was slotted before my original comment? 🙂

    I have no idea how that happened — I just work here.
