Good point, there's probably no circumstance in which the Democrats
would defend a white, male, military officer, short of his collaborating
with the enemy.

There is at least a fair chance that they will nominate one.

Circumstances alter cases. In 1992 I was doing the New Hampshire
Primary thing and bumped into my favorite liberal. I offered a pact: I
would write Colin Powell's name into the Republican ballot if she
would do the same on the Democratic one. She said: "Oh! I could
*never* vote for a military man!"

She is now the town chairman for Wesley Clark.

all the best -- Dan Ford
