Just got a call from a reporter doing a Wes Clark story. He says that Clark’s people are saying he’s definitely getting in–although this reporter is still a little dubious since a Clark candidacy seems to make so little sense. I asked him if the Clark people had any theory for how they would get to victory. He says they think, basically, that Dean is unelectable and the rest of the field is very weak and that there will be a hunger for a fresh face in coming weeks. They also point to the large number of Democratic undecideds. Count me very dubious. I can’t see how Clark has any constituency in the Democratic party that isn’t already locked up by someone else, and he runs a big risk of diminishing himself since there is no evidence that he is any good at politics…
