DES MOINES (Reuters) - Howard Dean on Monday denied asking retired Gen. Wesley Clark to be his running mate should he win the Democratic presidential nomination.
"No, I did not," Dean told Reuters in a telephone interview. "I think Wes is a good guy. I think he'd be a good running mate, but I think it would be highly foolish of me to offer anybody the running mate spot."
Dean is leading in the polls for the Jan. 19 Iowa caucuses and the Jan. 27 New Hampshire primary.
"I don't have the nomination yet. Not one vote has been cast. We're working really, really hard in Iowa. We want support there in the caucuses, but until it looks like I am going to be the nominee I am not going to be offering anybody the vice presidency," said Dean.
