Or maybe that's an exaggeration. Clark would have made a brilliant president because he's a class A strategic thinker. He did what he had to do to stay a player in Washington. I don't think his endorsement came early this go-round. It's actually coming late. I was surprised by his quick endorsement of Kerry in 2004. I'd only been watching him for about six months at that point.

Having watched for the nuances in his public character for an additional three years, I'm not surprised at the timing or the choice. It fits with who he is and how he sees his mission as a leading citizen. I don't agree with it. I'm not swayed by it. I won't accept Clinton as the nominee any quicker or easier than I otherwise would have when/if she's the nominee.

But I'm still a Wes Clark Democrat.
