Reply #92: It's what people around the campaign say [View All]

Volunteers who were around the Clarks say it, staff members have said it. I don't think Kerry was working through anybody. Clark was running against Kerry. Clark lost, he withdrew, he endorsed Kerry. He was endorsing Kerry even before he (Clark) was ever drafted into the race. If Kerry had been winning last year, Clark would never have run. His first concern is the commander in chief be qualified in foreign policy and national security. So, I repeat, he would have endorsed Kerry anyway. I think the endorsement came as quickly as it did to defuse the Drudge smear, quite possibly, but it was coming in any case. No Kerry-Clark conspiracy. While Clark was in the race, they were opponents, but only for the duration of the race. Once Clark withdrew, they were friends again. Grownup stuff.
