Hi Glenn,

I'd have to get up a lot earlier in the morning to pull one over on you, buddy.

I still believe Fineman has about as much integrity as any... well, you know what I mean.

Newsweek seems to have collectively come to some realization of what a danger George Bush is to their pocketbooks. I can't think of any other reason for their sea change of opinion. This week's issue, examining the quagmire in Iraq is refreshingly frank. Maybe they are lining up with what they hope to be the new administration in January, 2005. I can hardly wait. :)

Ciao!

Clark likely to run, says Democratic panel chief

Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe told Gov. Tom Vilsack on Wednesday that he expects Gen. Wesley Clark to run for the party's 2004 presidential nomination.

The speculation came as the former NATO commander hinted that he would decide in the next three weeks.

"Chairman McAuliffe indicated he thought General Clark would get into the race," Vilsack press secretary Matt Paul said of Vilsack's conversation with McAuliffe.

Their talks centered on recent Democratic victories in special legislative elections, outreach efforts by Iowa Democrats, and President Bush's political vulnerabilities. The comments about Clark were in passing as the conversation ended, Paul said.

While a Washington, D.C.-based effort to draft Clark to run has been running ads in several states including Iowa, the retired army general told The Des Moines Register on Tuesday that he would decide whether he will be a candidate by the time he speaks at the University of Iowa on Sept. 19.

The Iowa visit is of interest because the Iowa Democratic precinct caucuses kick off the 2004 nominating season on Jan. 19.

Clark has been mentioned as a potential presidential candidate since last year.

An aide said Clark was traveling in Washington, D.C., but planned to spend the Labor Day weekend at home in Little Rock, Ark., with his family.
