Wes Clark is Out

Wesley Clark has dropped out of the race. 

As I’ve stated on this blog before, I believe that Wesley Clark was encouraged to run by the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party as a tactic to derail Howard Dean’s candidacy.  Once it became clear that Howard Dean has very little chance of gaining the Democratic nomination, there was no longer any reason for Clark to continue the effort. 

Since Kerry is likely to get the nomination, he will not pick Clark as a VP.  The only think Clark would bring to the table is a military credential, which Kerry already has, and the Southern vote, which Edwards would be a better choice.

It looks more and more like a Kerry/Edwards ticket to me.
