It's too late to start this post, but I'll give you a little glimpse.

I went to my first Clark meetup tonight (been meaning to check them out for months, but you know how that goes). It was significantly smaller than the Denver Dean outpouring last week, but a very respectable size (45 people), and so much better organized and more interesting. The Dean folks could learn a bit from these people.

More on that soon (Tuesday evening, hopefully).

I told the Clark people up front that I was supporting both candidates--assuming they are both candidates; we'll know soon. Some of them were not thrilled with that, and I bet some of the Deaniancs will be even less so. I'm just thrilled to have two good choices. Most years I have zero.

So one former cultural phenom has decided to fuse two current ones for a moment.

Monday's Doonesbury strip instigates a flash mob in Seattle for Sept 13 at 10:35 a.m. Fans (fans?) will link arms, hop and chant "The Doctor is in!" (For Doctor Dean, which the final frame makes clear. Tuesday's strip continues the theme.

Of course publication of the strip undermines the flash mob concept, because everyone knowing--and the press presumably being present to film it--runs completely counter to the central idea. But maybe it will gin up still more publicity for Dean. I'm writing about it. But that's not so hard to do.

(Much thanks to Elias Kass for the heads up. I haven't read Doonesbury in years.)
