Bloom is off the Rose

By Eric Woolson on Tuesday, September 30, 2003.

The bloom is already off Wesley Clark's rose here in Iowa as Gov. Tom Vilsack noted to CNN that Iowans don't know much about the latest presidential aspirant and "I think they are concerned about his Democraticness."
That's right, he said, "Democraticness."
Look for more questions about Clark's record, issue positions and his, uh, democraticness in the weeks ahead. Word is, his candidacy could come under a heavy barrage soon. Vilsack's public musings may have been the opening salvo.
