Wesley Clark Concedes He's the Underdog

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Wesley Clark conceded Monday he's the underdog heading into Southern primaries on Tuesday but toughened his criticism of President Bush while offering voters what he said was the clearest of choices in picking Bush's Democratic opponent.

``This is the time for the voters of Tennessee to decide,'' Clark said. ``You've got a front-runner, you've got a good lawyer and you've got an underdog. I'm the underdog.''

Polls show Clark trailing both front-runner John Kerry and fellow Southerner John Edwards, a former trial lawyer, in elections scheduled Tuesday in Tennessee and Virginia. Twin third-place showings would rock his campaign. He argues he's the best candidate to compete in the South, but he has yet to demonstrate power in the region.
``You've got a choice in this race. You've got a lawyer ... he's a wonderful man,'' Clark said. ``You've got a man who has spent his life in the Senate ... and you've got somebody who has spent his whole life out there rolling up his sleeves, working with people, building teams, making things happen.''

Clark was putting the finishing touches on his Tennessee campaign by stumping through six cities before ending his day in Nashville with country music star Jamie O'Neal. Along the way he met with backers at blues legend B.B. King's club in Memphis, hopping onto the stage in front of a band.
