Clark on Gephardt

http://clark04.com/press/release/194/

For Immediate Release
Date: January 19, 2004

General Wesley Clark's Statement On Richard Gephardt

Manchester - "Congressman Gephardt should be proud of all that he has accomplished for his country. He has dedicated himself to serving the public and he has represented the people of Missouri with distinction.

Congressman Gephardt has run his campaign for President as he has led his life: with honor. He has been a strong, national leader of the Democratic Party and a powerful voice for those Americans who have needed someone to stand up for them.

As Leader of the Democrats in Congress, working Americans knew they had a true friend in Congressman Gephardt and a man that would stand up for them on principal.

Richard Gephardt is a true leader and statesman. It was an honor to be in this race with him and his voice will be missed."

-------------------------------------------

I couldn't agree more. He would have made a good President, just as will any of the other dems should (he) be elected.

1. yes....

...I'm sad about his loss. I'm hoping that a Democratic president will appoint him Secretary of Labor. No one ever worked harder for working people than Dick Gephardt.

2. Good idea, but don't we need him in Congress?

I'm just a little worried that, with 6 of the original 9 candidates in either the House or the Senate, that we may lose a lot of seats in the legislature just by candidate attrition!

3. I had heard that Clark respects and likes Gep

What a classy statement from Clark.

But then, I have come to expect nothing but pure class from this guy.
