Dean vs. Clark

Steve over at Golgonooza is crying out for some kind of answer, so here it is, in broad strokes of paint:

Last month I mentioned Howard Dean's mysterious talent for seeming one thing, and being another, which is indispensible in politics. Josh Marshall calls him on it. Marshall is right that Clark has been more consistent and clear-minded about the war, and the fact that he's the one guy Karl Rove fears is enough to make me like him. To me Clark and Dean are both in the ballpark; both also have deep flaws. Taking sides between them is more than I can handle right now.

However: My all-time favorite animal is the lemur. UPDATE: In particular the aye-aye, a nocturnal lemur, which was not on display at the zoo today. (Summuvabitch!)
