Good "info" article on a Clark candidacy


It skips all over the place but it's a good initial resource.

(snips)
Clark's new political team is a potent mix of Clinton-Gore veterans who did not commit to one of the nine other candidates. Advisers include former Commerce Secretary Mickey Kantor; former Gore field director Donnie Fowler; Washington attorneys Ron Klain and Bill Oldaker; spokesman Mark Fabiani of California; New Hampshire activist George Bruno; Clinton appointee Vanessa Weaver; and Eli Segal, former head of AmeriCorps.

"There's a lot of talent here," Clark said. "And (there) will be a lot in the future."

-------------------------------
Clark, wounded in the Vietnam War, believes his military service would counter Bush's political advantage as a wartime commander in chief. Clark is a Rhodes scholar, first in his 1966 class at West Point, White House fellow and head of the U.S. Southern Command and NATO commander during the 1999 campaign in Kosovo.

His potential has caught the attention of some lawmakers and at least one important labor leader, Gerald McEntee of the 1.5 million-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
--------------------------------------
The former general, a regular on cable news shows, has been critical of the Iraq war and Bush's postwar efforts - positions that would put him alongside announced candidates Dean, Sen. Bob Graham of Florida and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio as the most vocal anti-war candidates.
