In the past couple of days, I”ve been asked if there”s any truth to the rumors that Gen. Wes Clark may run for Congress against Rep. Tim Griffin.
My answer: No! It”s not going to happen. No way, no how.
There”s no way in hell the former four-star General wants to become a freshman Congressman at this stage in his career. Clark, 67, ran unsuccessfully for President in 2004 and running for Congress now would be a major step down.
Clark would make a formidable casino spiele candidate for any office, but he”s declined to run for other Arkansas political offices in the past, and I predict he”ll never run for anything again.
There are other credible Democrats talking behind the scenes about making the race against Griffin and I expect we”ll learn more in the coming weeks.
Past public polls have shown that Griffin is very vulnerable and Democrats must recruit a credible candidate to take on this polarizing incumbent.
