Wesley Clark's Campaign Manager Quits

By RON FOURNIER
AP Political Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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.

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

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.

Is this Fowler the son of the former Democrat National Chairman from SC, Donald Fowler? Donald Fowler was a sycophant for Bill Clinton in the 1990s.
