(02-01) 16:53 PST McALESTER, Okla. (AP) --

Polls show Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark doing well as he fights for Oklahoma's 40 delegates, but the state hasn't been entirely friendly territory him.

Clark's three-car caravan was headed back from a campaign appearance in McAlester to Oklahoma City shortly after midnight Sunday when it was pulled over by a state trooper.

The trooper cited Clark staffer Reid Cherlin -- who was driving the lead vehicle carrying Clark and foreign policy adviser Jamie Rubin -- for speeding.

The trooper said he clocked the car at 88 miles per hour in a 75 mile an hour zone. Cherlin said he had set the car's cruise control for 83 miles per hour.
