Hodges to endorse Clark for president

[bicentennial_baby]

"Former Gov. Jim Hodges will endorse retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark today for the Democratic presidential nomination.

It could be an important endorsement, given Hodges’ popularity among black voters, who are expected to make up at least half of the turnout in the first primary state with a substantial black voting population.

“This is a very important day for our campaign,” Eli Segal, chief executive officer of the Clark campaign based in Little Rock, Ark., told The State newspaper on Thursday."

"The endorsement is a coup for the Clark campaign. All nine candidates have been courting the former governor. Hodges had been leaning toward U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts."
