General Salutes 'Clinton-Clark' Ticket

February 02, 2007 4:44 PM

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: On the same day that he was the only Democrat allowed to speak to members of the Democratic National Committee without making his 2008 intentions known, Gen. Wesley Clark raised speculation as to whether he is angling to be Sen. Hillary Clinton's, D-N.Y., running mate.

"I'm a great admirer of Senator Clinton. I think she's terrific," Clark told ABC News with a sly smile when asked if he shared a former aide's assessment that "a Clinton-Clark ticket has a nice ring to it."

Back in September of 2003, the New York Times reported that former President Clinton told a gathering of big campaign donors in Chappaqua, N.Y. that the Democratic Party has "two stars": his wife and Clark, the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander.

Moments before talking to ABC News, Clark stopped himself before getting on an elevator at the Washington Hilton hotel where the D.N.C. winter meeting was taking place so that he could greet D.N.C. member and Clinton confidant Harold Ickes.

"I've got to say hello to Harold Ickes," said a beaming Clark.
