HERE'S ONE GENERAL WHO IS NOT FOR WESLEY CLARK: Former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Hugh Shelton was asked what he thought of Wesley Clark's candidacy at a forum. He replied, "I've known Wes for a long time. I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart. I'm not going to say whether I'm a Republican or a Democrat. I'll just say Wes won't get my vote."

These are strong words and ought to provide a cautionary tale to those who believe Clark is some kind of political messiah.
