I'd like to thank Gen. Clark for coming by Jim Webb's campaign headquarters this morning to offer his endorsement.  Turnout was great, and there were a lot of familiar faces in the crowd -- people who had been Clark supporters during the 2003-4 primary season.

 

 In Clark’s endorsement speech, he spoke of Webb in glowing terms as a man who understands national security, who understands the importance of “checks and balances” in our system of government, and who will “have the courage to say what’s right regarldess of wher ethe chips fall” politically. According to Clark, Jim Webb “sees the glass clearly,” and is a man who will always strive to “know the facts and make the right call.” Clark added that “Jim Webb is the kind of man that will put the interests of the people of this state first, and that Webb will “take his fight to the floor of the U.S. Senate, he won’t back down from any challenge and he will focus on the job he is elected to do.”

Thanks Greg for posting this.  We can't say strongly enough how proud we are to have General Clark endorse Jim Webb.  Not only do I want this to spur on the support and attention the campaign needs and deserves, but I want the Webb supporters in Virginia to see Wes Clark in a different light.  I know they will like what they see and will appreciate the confidence he's placed in Webb.

Will the endorsement announcement be going up on the SA.com site soon so we can hopefully beneft from contributions before the quarter is up?  I want all donations to be credited to Clark though.  Does that Act Blue link that you posted give credit to Clark?

I saw him in a couple of interviews and I was really impressed.

I think this is Wes Clark's FINEST endorsement yet.

James Webb is a real fighter! I will surely campaign for him this year!
