I just can't get to the next step, which is who does get there. Either Clark or a brokered convention.

I'm 5'7" - which is average height for an American man. And no, I don't feel insecure about it.

Over the years, I have worked with several "short" men. While most were perfectly capable or even very good at their jobs, if any criticism came their way, the "little man" syndrome would flare up.
Usually the short guys felt they had something to prove and would work harder trying to out do anyone taller than them.
They would also get you into a bar fight to if you stopped to have a beer on the way home. I had one friend that always wanted to prove himself by beating up someone much bigger than himself (he never did) but me or one of our other friends would have to rescue him to keep him from becoming a blob of raw hamburger. We stopped drinking with him too.

yikes
Thank heavens I don't feel like I need to prove something since I am short.
God made me this way, and I don't have a reason to complain about it. Being short isn't all bad, though finding clothes that don't have to be altered is pure hell.

I'm 5'7 and I have an almost completely different perspective, though.
The phenomenon you mention is VERY valid. Lots of smaller statured men exxagerate in this area, to compensate for whatever hangups their minds have created.
As for me, I have always prided myself in being unusually laid back, actually thinking its wiser to work less and less hard and get comperable results than to work more and harder and get superior results. Maybe it's cause I am italian, and naturally don't take much pride in my work - hahaha - at the very least, my work has almost nothing to do with my sense of identity.

It has been scientifically proven that Howard Dean is slightly shorter than John F. Kerry's face.
