It's Clark

Dem radio address today, Meet the Press tomorrow...

...no accident.

Key variables:

Looks good as commander-in-chief. Voters will accept him as qualified. Clark leads the pack here, with serious competition only from Bill Clinton and John McCain, neither of whom will take the job.
Turning red state blue: Only a tiny handful of candidates, led by Breaux of LA and Byrd of WV, could for sure do this. Edwards, Gephardt and Graham would make their states more competitive, but no guarantees. Clark would put Arkansas in play and help with swing voters and Reagan Democrats everywhere.
Debate with Cheney Clark matches up perfectly, war record, healthy youthful appearance. Fourth purple heart and second silver star can't hurt the ticket.
National TV experience Clark is great on television; that's why CNN paid him more than he ever made as a four-star general. His primary campaign provided an excellent tune-up for the real thing.
Backup man, attack dog Clark doesn't have the natural appetite for this of a Howard Dean or the years of experience doing it of a southern politician, but he brings great dignity and credibility to the task.

It's Clark. Just gots to be.
