A General in the Wings

Instability in Iraq, a shaky economy at home, and a yawning deficit, it's a tough time to be president. Even so, no fewer than nine Democrats say they can do the job better than George Bush. Now, a tenth is standing in the wings, the as-yet undeclared General Wesley Clark.
The former Supreme Commander of NATO and Rhodes Scholar is the focus of two "Draft Wesley Clark for President" efforts. Some say the decorated veteran who shone as a soldier in Vietnam and as a general in Kosovo packs the military mettle the Democrats need for victory in 2004. Others say his shadow campaign's measly war chest falls far short of the multi-millions needed to run for the White House. Ubiquitous as a military analyst but still untested as a candidate.
