Change of heart 


Bill Buckley has some questions for Wesley Clark:

What changed him from cheerleading Republican in 2001 to front-line critic of the Republican party under the leadership of the same man he praised in 2001? What vision is it that he got? Was there a trance, like overnight? Or more prolonged, like St. Augustine's? Not too prolonged, because he had only two years in which to go from cheering the Republicans to deciding that duty required him to head a national movement to replace them. Undecided voters are entitled to wonder what fresh epiphany he might have in the next two years. Where would this one take him?
Despite the two polls showing Clark with the lead, his first week as a candidate has been a disaster, and this is before the other candidates start attacking him. What's he going to do when Democrats start asking him why he was a Republican until two years ago and he an dismiss them as Republican attack dogs?
