General Wesley Clark to Announce 2008 Candidacy?
And then, this afternoon, I received an invitation to watch a live streaming webcast tomorrow of Wesley Clark delivering a speech to the Democratic National Committee's annual winter meeting.
Only, and all, the 2008 Democratic presidential candidates will be speaking tomorrow, including:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
Sen. Barack Obama
Former Sen. John Edwards
Sen. Joe Biden
Gov. Bill Richardson
Sen. Chris Dodd
Gov. Tom Vilsack
Rep. Dennis Kucinich
Sen. Mike Gravel
And retired four-star U.S. Army General Wesley Clark, Supreme Allied Commander from 1997 to 2000 and author of two acclaimed books on waging and winning modern warfare.
I'll be listening to General Clark tomorrow morning. And I'm guessing that he will declare, or at least flirt with, a 2008 run for the White House. His entry into the 2008 race should substantially change the dynamics among Democratic candidates.
In anticipation, I just published Wesley Clark, 2008 Presidential Candidate Info Center Hub, which includes a profile, articles and links to books authored by the general.
Look for word here about General Clark's much-anticipated speech, and speeches by all the 2008 hopefuls.

It’s funny, I would have applauded Clark entering the race in 2004, but somehow I’m not sure that he would be a good thing in a race already crowded with big names (and by that I mean, chiefly, Hillary and Obama).
I used to really like Hillary Clinton, but her hawkish support for the Iraq War defied all sense, in my opinion. Being that I’ve always thought Sen. Clinton has a good head on her shoulders, I can only conclude that it was a political ploy. She’s lost all my respect, which is unfortunate, because there was a time when I really would have liked to have seen her as president.
