The size of Clark's crowds has grown sharply in recent weeks to rival Dean's. That is bad news for the doctor, who needs the pack of candidates below him to stay muddled so no clear alternative rises to win over the two-thirds of Democrats who don't currently plan to vote for him.

"I want you to lower it from here [pointing to his head] to there [his groin]." Erectile dysfunction is, in fact, no joke...
