I don't think those responses were to telegraph a decision one way or the other. Those responses were in response to the charge that he is being "coy." I wouldn't read more into it than that.

I really think that if he has already decided that he won't run he would say so. The Democratic party has been pressuring him to get involved. I think the Democrats want Clark in for plan "B." So that if their golden boys, Kerry, Edwards and Lieberman falter, Clark could save the nomination for the "moderates."

On another note; notice how he responded to the lingering questions about his MTP statements on 9/11 and the administration. He has already looked at the transcript and KNOWS exactly what he said so they cannot play, "gotcha" with him. A lot of people got the wrong impression from that appearance. But if you read the transcript he did not say that "on 9/11 somebody from the white house..." How many other candidates would have the forethought to do a simple thing like checking the transcript before writing a letter to the NYTs or making a television appearance?
