If you want to test which way the wind is blowing, wet your finger and stick it up in the air. If you want to test the morale of a campaign, log into their campaign blog and, if they are foolish enough to let visitors post comments, read their comments.
The tone of the posts I’ve read talking about Wesley Clark range from slightly nervous comments to shrill diatribes. Are Dean supporters getting nervous? Where is that unbridled optimism they displayed only a few weeks ago? The fact is, they know that Dean’s numbers have flattened while the poll numbers of others, especially Clark’s national numbers, have gained momentum.
Here are some of the comments:

[url=http://www.blogforamerica.com/archives/003100.comments.html]Oklahoma is running[/url] neck and neck with Clark.
[url=http://www.blogforamerica.com/archives/003100.comments.html]Dean is just slightly ahead of Clark![/url]
[url=http://www.blogforamerica.com/archives/003100.comments.html]Regroup TRIPPI ET AL!!! Oklahoma is winnable. No excuse that you don’t have a creative ad up by the weekend. Same in AZ. Clark’s support there is media bought and soft. Tuesday, after IA, get the Governor to swing through AZ, NM and OK. Precede him with new creative and inspiring ads. Let the IA people do their jobs. Do not let Clark back door us out there, or in DE either. You have the money. Use it![/url]
[url=http://www.blogforamerica.com/archives/003100.comments.html]I just hope Clark doesn’t by some chance win because it would be the end of the movement and the Democratic Party. The press is doing the country a HUGE disservice by being quiet about Clark’s massive problems. If Clark wins, a Bush victory is assured. Then all of our taxes will get audited and it will probably be illegal to be a Democrat anyway.[/url]
[url=http://www.blogforamerica.com/archives/003100.comments.html]I’ve heard that Clark has been quoted as recently saying that he would have been a Republican if Rove had only returned his phone call. [/url]
Okay, just one more…
[url=http://www.blogforamerica.com/archives/003106.comments.html]Let’s stay positive and focused on our message. Clark and Edwards are doing it and they’re gaining ground. We’ve got to stay positive to stay ahead.[/url]
Hmmm… Positive is not a style that I would normally associate with the Dean campaign.
