So I’ve been thinking through the various scenarios, trying to puzzle out what I’d like to see happen in Iowa. And I’ve concluded that, whatever else goes down, the main thing I’m hoping for is a third or fourth-place finish for Dick Gephardt. It’s not that he’s a bad guy. He’s not. It’s just that…

On Wednesday (somehow I missed this at the time — didn’t seem to really get much press…), Michael Moore wrote an endorsement letter for Wes Clark, now posted on Clark04.com. This is new stuff — not just a rehash of the Draft Clark era letter he wrote a while back. It’s a pretty short, fairly…
