Letting his vices be his virtues

"Let your vices be your virtues," Doris Rosenthal (a 1930s artist and high school art teacher) liked to say. I thought about that when I read the National Review piece by Alan W. Dowd about the presumed weaknesses of a Wesley Clark candidacy. Such as: 

 When it comes to Iraq, Clark finds a way to rub war critics and war advocates the wrong way. . .Clark doesn't seem to fit into either party right now. He may come to the same conclusion.

But in a country where the split between liberal blue states and red conservative states is roughly 50-50, this ill-fitting  general might have a definite advantage.
