Just got home from the Wesley Clark Meetup at Opal Devine's on 6th Street. While the gist of the meeting was organizational, the whole thing was pretty fascinating. There were roughly 75 people crammed onto the deck, and this all for a candidate that has yet to announce that he is indeed running. Ages ranged across the board from 20 - 70 and not only were there at least a handful of people that switched over from the Dean Meetup, a couple people actually raised their hands as Republicans.

The word at the Meetup was that Clark was going to announce between September 15th and September 19th. As more proof that his entrance is imminent, this statement was released by Clark today to his volunteers thanking them for coming to their last "draft" Clark meetup.

So now I'm pumped to move onto the elect meetup. While Texas is a shoe-in for Bush in the national election, Clark still needs to win the democrat nomination first -- and Texas has some 243 primary votes to decide who that democrat will be. Personally, I'd prefer they go to Clark instead of Dean.
