Well, it seems that Clark may be making a play for the starring role instead...

I don't pretend to follow politics very closely, but what I do know about General Clark makes me think he might be the candidate best able to pick up the pieces left behind by Bush. None of the other Democratic candidates excite me very much. I just wonder if Clark entering the race will split the "grassroots" vote so much as to kill the Dean momentum and vault one of the Democratic retreads (Gephardt, Kerry, Lieberman) to the top.
