"Draft" Clark

This is certainly interesting. Has Clark been the "establishments" answer to Dean all along?

Substantial parts of the draft movement, in fact, were led not by regular citizens inspired by Clark but by public-relations professionals and political operatives with deep ties to the Democratic Party and the Clinton administration. During the past week, it has slowly dawned on some of the less politically experienced members of the Draft Clark movement that this might not be purely coincidental.

"My operative theory is that a bunch of political insiders decided to recruit a candidate and created a fake draft movement to pressure him," says Newberry.

The Wesley Clark Weblog counters:

I expected the draft sites would disappear and I'll miss digitalclark.com. Other than that, I wish I knew what they were talking about. I have not experienced any of this, nor have I spoken with anyone that has.
