BEDFORD, New Hampshire (CNN) --Vowing to send President Bush "right back to that ranch in Texas," retired Gen. Wesley Clark told enthusiastic supporters Tuesday that he "ain't slowing down until the final buzzer sounds."

"Never, never underestimate what a determined soldier can accomplish when he's fighting for his country," said Clark, who was supreme commander of NATO forces in 1999 during the Kosovo war

"Four months ago, we weren't even in this race. We had no money. We had no staff. We had no office. All we had was hope and a vision for a better America," he said.

Clark: Leadership comes from deciding

Clark, a Rhodes scholar and West Point graduate, works as an investment banker in Little Rock, Arkansas.

8. Glad to see Clark given a little respect.

Right out, I am a Dean supporter. But I am glad to see Clark going back to his strengths and remembering who he is. Don't listen to those stinking reporters and don't let them frame the dialogue.You go.
