Riding In On A White Horse? theday.com Published on 8/29/2003 Anew and interesting dimension has been added to the otherwise humdrum 2004 presidential race. Four-star retired Army general and former NATO commander Wesley K. Clark, has confided to friends he wants to run for the nation's highest post next year, The New York Times reported in its Thursday edition. Good looking, charming, highly intelligent and articulate and with his distinguished military background that included service in Vietnam, he would be powerful contender among the current field of Democratic candidates. As his television appearances as a military expert during the Iraq war demonstrated, he handles himself well in speaking on complicated issues. He could easily outshine other contenders on national security matters. And nobody could accuse him of shirking his military duty. There are already several Draft Clark committees at work. One has raised nearly $1 million. Gen. Clark could announce his intentions as early as next month, The Times report said. One thing that might make it difficult to enter this late in the race is Gen. Clark's lack of an organization and campaign funds. However, that could quickly change, given the general's high visibility and stature and relative public indifference shown the other Democratic candidates. At the very least, his entrance would be good for the Democrats, for it would generate some excitement in a race that has up to this point had trouble attracting attention. Even if he eschewed a presidential run, the general would be an asset to the Democratic ticket as a running mate. His possible presence in the race provides something for President Bush and the Republicans to worry about.
