Clark Fading Fast

When Weasel Clark got into the presidential race, I wrote:

Clark is a relative political novice. Having been tossed into the pool with nine sharks circling around him, I think he’ll find it exceedingly difficult to learn to swim. Unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger, who’s running a two-month campaign, Clark will have to go the distance for several months and, if he ends up with the nomination, will be looking at a year-long campaign against an incumbent president. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he were to self-destruct long before that.

Now Clark’s wildly inept campaign has led to his dropping from first to second place in the national polls. A CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll shows Clark dropping from 21 percent to 15 percent among registered Democrats in just one month. Also, Clark is but a blip in the polls in the early primary states of Iowa (which he’s given up on) and New Hampshire.
