Reply #24: I think this entire tangent is way off base

[Tom Rinaldo]

If Clark does not run for President himself he will act an an independent advocate for and consultant on international sanity until such time as Democrats agree on a nominee, and then he will work to get that nominee elected.

Since Clark clearly sees himself as having an important enough role to play, both in public and in private, working with Democrats in Congress on national security issues, that it has diverted his full attention away from his own Presiential run for weeks now, I see no reason why he would drop that to prop up a different candidate.
