Prominent Democrats Throw Support Behind General Clark's Campaign
Arkansas, Texas Democratic Party Chairs Endorse Wesley Clark

Little Rock, AR - Arkansas Democratic Chair Ron Oliver and Vice Chair Karla Bradley and Texas Democratic Chair Molly Beth Malcolm announced their endorsement of General Wesley Clark today.

"General Wesley Clark has the knowledge and experience to make a great President," said Arkansas Democratic Chair Ron Oliver. "He will bring this country new direction. Clark has National Security experience and knows that America's security depends on a strong economy. Once again, the people of Arkansas are proud to offer a candidate to replace a President that has damaged our national economy."

"As the stepmother of a son serving in the 82nd Airborne in Iraq, his commitment to a New American Patriotism has deep meaning for me," said Texas Democratic Chair Molly Beth Malcolm. "In a time of war and uncertainty, America needs a leader who truly understands the consequences of sending our sons and daughters overseas to fight in a hostile land. We need a leader that understands that we must win the peace as well as the war. We need a leader who respects our allies and is unafraid to work with world leaders. We'll get that kind of leader with Wes Clark."

Oliver, Bradley and Malcolm are in Washington, DC, attending a meeting of the Democratic National Committee.

1. It's just a matter of time
before we are in the White House again!

Finally, we'll have a real president again.

All those people must be pretty dumb, supporting a Republican mole like that.
</sarcasm>

That's no small potatoes. Good for him.

There's a story floating around that Clark has also gotten the endorsement of 18 TX legislators...dunno if they're congressmen, or state guys/gals...

Oh, here it is, they're state reps.

3. I wouldn't call these folks
PROMINENT Democrats.

When he gets a Gore endorsement, or Clinton endorsement, let me know.

4. Those two aren't endorsing anyone.
Last I checked, no one had endorsements *that* big.

7. However, Clark did get the "nod" from the Clintons
If I remember correctly.......Clintons gave as much as an endorsement as they could, under the circumstances......

THERE ARE 2 STARS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.......

9. Oh YEAH--so is Clark the Clinton puppet or not, LOL!
Thanks for reminding me.

If Clinton formally endorses Clark, then we'll be hearing how Clinton and his magical penis are hypnotizing every untrue Democrat into supporting Clark.

5. Why? When he does, you'll just discredit Gore and Clinton.

6. I'll never discredit Gore.
And if I'm not mistaken, Gore said he WOULD endorse someone. We'll see what happens.

10. I think the people who didn't like Clinton don't like Clark.
I've been wondering that for a while now.

13. Malcolm (D-TX)
She resigned her post a few weeks ago. She is still the chair until the state dem committe selects an interim chair at the next meeting.

I'm not making light of her endorsement, just letting you know.

Her stepson is in Iraq now. Betcha the state Repug chair doesn't have any children over there.
