OKLAHOMA CITY - A grateful Wesley Clark (news - web sites) grabbed the first victory of his presidential campaign and of his political life in Oklahoma on Tuesday and declared that voters were sending the message that they want "a higher standard of leadership in Washington."


The retired four-star general told supporters that "as an old soldier from Arkansas, I just couldn't be prouder of your support in the first election I've ever won."


"Today, across the country, Democrats went to the polls and tonight the people have spoken, and the message they sent couldn't be clearer: America wants a higher standard of leadership in Washington," he said.


With seven states voting on Tuesday, Clark won a narrow victory in Oklahoma, a neighbor to his home state of Arkansas, and placed a distant second to Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) in Arizona and North Dakota. He was in a tight race for second in New Mexico as well.
