...they are all on the same team once we settle on a candidate and if the determination is that Gen. Clark is the best fit for the team and gives them the best chance to win and to govern effectively afterwards I don't think his endorsement of an opponent in the primary would be a deal-breaker.

Edwards obviously endorsed someone other than John Kerry in 2004 (himself) and ended up on the ticket. Bush 41 and Reagan were mortal enemies in the 1980 repub primaries and ended up on the ticket together. I could go on, but the point is that, once the primaries are over and we have a candidate, anyone who is serious is going to coalesce arond the choice and the disputes stop there.
