Bernie Quigley was a strong supporter of Jim Webb during his run for the Senate.  He's an insightful and prolific writer, and has penned a great diary on Kos, stating the "primary crisis we face is leadership in America". As you begin to give the Democratic contenders for 2008 a good, hard, honest look to decide who best fills the bill, consider what Quigley has to say.

Jim Webb and Wes Clark: The Return of the Warrior/Scholar
by Bernie Quigley

I just received polling information yesterday from Des Moines, Iowa, putting John Edwards way ahead at 36%; Senator Clinton at 16% and Senator Obama 13% - Obama appears to be pulling from Senator Clinton.  It could be that the country just wants peace and sees John and Elizabeth as a kind of benign Babar and Celeste in Celesteville - would be nice. But my point of view has always been that there are two crises in America today: The secondary crisis is the Iraq disaster.

Jim Webb & Wes Clark!


Precisely, "vadem"! (cycle12 - 12/16/2006 10:06:44 AM)
It was Wes Clark's early endorsement of Jim Webb's Democratic primary candidacy in late March that convinced me to support and publicly endorse Webb soon thereafter.

We do not have to continue "lookin' for a leader" for our 2008 Democratic presidential candidate; he has found us, and we have discovered him.

Quigley is correct; there is no better person for this office than warrior/scholar Wes Clark.

Is it 2008 yet?

Thanks!
