(2003-09-17) — Former President Bill Clinton advised Democrat presidential candidate Wesley Clark to dodge the “draft Clark” movement.
“As one Rhodes Scholar to another, I told Wesley he should take some time off and go overseas or something,” said Mr. Clinton. “He could wait until this so-called ‘war on terror’ is over, then come back and get into politics. It’s a proven strategy, you know.”
Gen. Clark has ignored Mr. Clinton’s advice, and will stand and fight among the 10 Democrat hopefuls.
“Now that Clark’s in,” said Mr. Clinton, “I fully support him. I think he’ll make a good VP for any other candidates that might still enter the race.”
