I will update diary soon. I just got off the phone, with a "Platinum source"
UPDATE: I just got off the phone with a "Platinum source" that has confirmed and I quote the Clark 2008 Presidential Campaign's "Engine is turning". So, I was wrong. Clark is running.
After Clark speaks to the DNC in Washington DC this Friday morning he will appear on Hardball with Chris Matthews. Um, Clark is a FOXnews analyst. Odd eh?
Expect an announcement soon at some point.
General Clark will be on Hardball with Chris Matthews (MSNBC) 5PM ET / 4PM CT on Friday 2/2/07
5:00 PM EST | 4:00 PM CST | 3:00 PM MST | 2:00 PM PST
All times of scheduled programs are subject to change. We recommend tuning in a little early.
UPDATE #2: (My thoughts, source not clear on time) A Clark announcement on Thursday/Friday would should dominate the news coverage through the weekend. It appears Clark is the best at strategy waiting until everyone announces, and before Obama's big splash on 2/10.
UPDATE #3: PLEASE CONTRIBUTE, KansasNate explains how it works.
UPDATE #4: I am getting conflicting word that he "hasn't made up his mind". I don't buy that line.
UPDATE #5: What do you guys think? If he wasn't running why would he go on MSNBC and why would he speak at the DNC winter meeting with every other candidate? Just for kicks?
Sorry, I know some of his staff and close associates don't want the cat to get out of the bag yet officially but.. isn't it obvious enough even without my sources that General Clark will run for President?
UPDATE #6: Wes Clark Jr. has just informed us (in this diary) that we should NOT expect an announcement anytime soon. Okay, so if he's not announcing this week, when?
I did confirm with sources (several at this point) that he is running but don't know when he will officially announce. Jessica Van Denberg who served as Webb's campaign manager in '06 and the Clark '04 Oklahoma State Manager (Which Clark won) did confirmed to one of my sources that she spoke to Clark last night and would not give any hints.
All I have to say is, RUN WES RUN!
UPDATE #7: eve has reported on Friday MSNBC & CSPAN will carry the speakers at the DNC Winter Meeting on Friday. Also, I have been invited by a Democratic State Party Chair to be his guest at this event. I will ask the General myself, if he hasn't declared or hinted by then.
UPDATE #8: american woman has pointed out that although Wes Clark Jr. has informed us not to expect an announcement soon, he has recommended this diary. Interesting.. But again, having met Wes Jr. he's a really great person. Just like his father. I am impressed by him still.
