Wesley Clark

Katie Stevens seems like an unrivalled front-runner, but she’s not particularly “relevant”

It seems that presidential campaigns cannot avoid the plethora of surrogates parading endlessly on prime time and all news cable stations to applaud the qualities of their chosen candidates. A little over a week ago, Charlie Black, a McCain strategist, stated that a terrorist attack might actually help Senator McCain because of his extensive national security experience. The senator quickly dissociated himself from that comment. Last Sunday, General Wesley Clark, an Obama supporter, questioned Senator McCain’s qualifications to be president because of his military record—not terribly smart, and Senator Obama also dissociated himself from those comments.
