I’m a Clarkie - Come Find Out More This Tuesday or Wednesday
Well, I’ve made up my mind that I’ll be somewhat politically active this season as a Clark supporter. I really like Carol Moseley Braun, though I realize she doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. After that, I like Clark, much more than Dean, anyway. While on Christmas vacation, I read this piece in New York Magazine a couple of weeks ago, which says that the Dean Machine is ramping up for New York to be the nail in the coffin of any other would-be Democratic contendor. The article goes on to suggest that if anyone, Clark stands the best chance of staging a Dean upset, but that it will all come down to New York, where Dean is much better organized and funded compared to Clark, or anyone else for that matter.
I don’t know how trustworthy that analysis actually is, but it is enough to have gotten me off my duff to at least send an email to Clark’s official campaign web site and volunteer to show up at a meeting this coming Tuesday. I’ve since been informed that this is a fence-sitter’s meeting, geared at the undecided as to why he’s the best man for the job. I’ve been asked to bring along some other wobblers with me.
So, if anyone who wants to attend with me, the meeting will be held at 7pm Tuesday the 13th in the Colubus Circle neighborhood (exact details offline). Email me if you’re interested in joining.
UPDATE:
D’oh! Adrienne just reminded me that we have a prior engagement Tuesday night. Grrr. Well, if you’re still interested in attending that event without me, by all means check out the Upcoming Events page on NYforClark.com. Meanwhile, not so easily disuaded, I now plan to attend an event the next night, Wednesday the 14th, a kind of meet-and-greet at Remedy Bar and Grill, 974 2nd Ave. (between 51st and 52nd Sts.).
