Caught the late replay of Meet the Press, and was impressed with Clark's hour of discussion. The following thought is an attermpt at something hard to pen: Clark spoke in the tone of voice that I enjoyed so much in him during the past year, and summer before he entered the race. The hard-to-pen bit is this- he doesn't talk down to the questioner. He doesn't turn his answer into a simplified sound bite. Of course, Meet the Press is usually a pretty straight talking show anyway, but I found Clark returning t oa voice that he sort-of abandoned in the past month. Most impressively, he delivered his stance on Iraq very very well. Indeed, listening to him, one gets the sense of just how stupidly simplistic our press has become; which, by the way, is manifested in its continuing desire to paint Clark as going back and forth on Iraq.
