Might i suggest a different  viewpoint??
    This is Clark's "coming out" party. Nobody is going to beat Dubya this
go-round. Look for Wes to be Hillary's V.P. in '08. W.A.S.P. general,
Arkansas good 'ol boy, classmate of Bill's in England (pretty sure, could be
wrong). Nope, this "run for president" is just to introduce him to America
as a political figure. Time will tell!
