Enron whistleblower endorses Clark
01/02/2004
Associated Press
The woman who blew the whistle on Enron Corp.'s accounting problems endorsed Wesley Clark for president Friday, saying she believes he has the integrity to run the country.
In a telephone conference call, Sherron Watkins of Houston said she first saw Clark speak at a conference over the summer and was impressed with his vision and composure. She said she began supporting him during a national "Draft Clark" campaign before he announced as a candidate for the Democratic nomination.
"He really floored me with his long-term vision for America and how he handled the question-and-answer session with his answers on the war on Iraq and the war on terrorism," she said.
A former Enron vice president, Watkins warned company chairman Kenneth Lay in 2001 that the firm could collapse as a result of extensive false accounting. She resigned after the company filed for bankruptcy and was named one of Time magazine's Persons of the Year for 2002.
"My Enron experience has brought home to me just how important the tone at the top is," she said.

4. An obvious admirer of accountability.

"Clark spokesman Matt Bennett said Watkin's name was recognized by a campaign worker reviewing donor lists, and the campaign solicited her endorsement."

Atta person, campaign worker!

5. Clark and Dean are just too close to the neocons...

Dean's campaign manager or top campaign organizer is a former AIPAC official. Clark is firmly in the clutches of the AIPAC, JINSA and some other PNAC-related groups. As close as I can tell, Kucinich is his own person. I like Dean and I like Clark but I just can't support what would most likely be their foreign policy if their big financial supporters have their way.
