and his 3-week-old Arkansas campaign team.

I knew Herr General had a bunch of babies on his team, but 3-week old ones, sheesh!

Donnie Fowler told associates he was leaving over widespread concerns that supporters who used the Internet to draft Clark into the race are not being taken seriously by top campaign advisers.

You mean, the Internet draft isn't even seen as genuine by Clark's team?

Gray Davis is available for a new job.

No way.
My bet is that Gray Davis files for the Presidency himself.
Anything to give him a chance to keep taking "contributions".

No doubt Dan Rather will overlook this point tomorrow on his nightly 'snooze its the news' show.

Maybe not Bubba...an article from the WP from September 18, 2003.

Fox tried (and failed) to drag Hillary in through a different door:

"While sources told Fox News earlier that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton will serve as Clark's campaign co-chairman while numerous other Arkansas-based supporters of her husband, former President Bill Clinton, were also lending a hand in the campaign, the senator's office told Fox News late in the day that she had not agreed to serve on the campaign. Clark aides later said they had miscommunicated with Clinton's office and no determination had been made about her participation."

Donnie Fowler told associates he was leaving over widespread concerns that supporters who used the Internet to draft Clark into the race are not being taken seriously by top campaign advisers. Fowler also complained that the campaign's message and methods are focused too much on Washington, not key states and the burgeoning power of the Internet, said two associates who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Fowler appears to have mistakenly believed that the Clark campaign was for real and not just a set up to thwart Dean. When you don't play the game the way the snakes (Clintons) want you to, you're going to get bitten.

Clark is a shill for a draft Hillary movement.

When no Rat for Pres. leader emerges from the pack, and with Gore not in the picture, the Dem party will be open to a draft Hillary campaign. Then and only then will she accept and turn to Clark (with new found name familiarity) to be on the ticket as VP in order to perfume over the smell of treason tainting all dems today.

WASHINGTON -- Wesley Clark's campaign manager quit Tuesday in a dispute over the direction of the Democratic presidential bid, exposing a rift between the former general's Washington-based advisers and his 3-week-old Arkansas campaign team.

Donnie Fowler told associates he was leaving over widespread concerns that supporters who used the Internet to draft Clark into the race are not being taken seriously by top campaign advisers. Fowler also complained that the campaign's message and methods are focused too much on Washington, not key states and the burgeoning power of the Internet, said two associates who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Spokesmen for the campaign declined comment.

Fowler has been at odds with communications adviser Mark Fabiani of California and policy adviser Ron Klain of Washington. All three are veterans of Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign, part of a large group of Clinton-Gore activists hired by Clark as he entered the race Sept. 17.

From the start, there has been tension between the campaign's political professionals and the draft-Clark supporters.

Fowler has complained that while the Internet-based draft-Clark supporters have been integrated into the campaign, their views are not taken seriously by Fabiani, Klain and other top advisers, many of them based in Washington. He has warned Clark's team that the campaign is threatening to be overly focused on Washington, a charge leveled against Gore's campaign in 2000.

Fowler, son of former Democratic Party chairman Don Fowler, was quietly installed as chairman of the campaign in the first days of the bid.

On DU board leftie kool-aid drinkers think a Dean/Clark ticket would be awesome.

They weirdly think this would appeal to the voters who in another breath they describe as fascist 'gun-nut' mysogynist homophobes.
