Wesley Clark - Tahoe's Friend Of The Month


Wesley Clark is Tahoe's friend of the day, the week, the month. Heck, he may even turn out to be Tahoe's friend of the year.

Through his WesPAC he helps federal, statewide and local candidates by not only endorsing them but by putting them on his ActBlue page.

Of the hundreds, if not thousands, of candidates he is raising money for 20 candidates through his ActBlue page and 2 (!) of them are Tahoe candidates. That makes 10%. Ten percent for Tahoe. Wow!

Both candidates are running for the House of Representatives. Jill Derby in Nevada's 2nd Congressional District and Charlie Brown in California's 4th Congressional District.

Now, I haven't made my mind up yet about 2008 presidential candidates. After all, it's still not quite clear who will run and who won't. That said, Wesley Clark really scored some points with me. Go Wes!
