Rangel, other prominent minority leaders endorse Wesley Clark

NEW YORK -- Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who is running for president,
cited his record of supporting affirmative action in the armed forces
at a rally in Harlem on Thursday as evidence that he deserves the
support of black voters.

"I've fought for it, I've fought with African-Americans, I've served
under African-Americans, I'm proud to have been there," Clark told a
group of about 200 supporters, most of them white. "But it's not about
what you sign on paper, it's about who you are as a person. And my
African-American friends know me as a person who's fair, who's honest
and who believes in human beings."

3. IIRC, Rangel first announced his support for Clark

about a week after Clark declared his candidacy.

6. Thanks to Rangel, and to all the African American leaders endorsing Clark

I believe they've made the right choice.

And I hope they don't get attacked for giving their opinions,
as Prez Gore has been attacked for giving his opinion.
I love Prez Gore; I value the opinions of Gore and Rangel;
and we're all free to consider their endorsements or ignore them.
