Wesley Clark: Flavor of the Month

They're calling Wesley Clark the flavor of the month out in Hollywood:

"There's a lot of buzz about General Clark now," Mr. Spahn said. "He combines in one package the attributes of several other candidates. He's got the Southern base of John Edwards, the outsider status of Howard Dean and a military record that trumps John Kerry."

But, it may not last:

He said, "We're sort of at the pre-honeymoon" stage in terms of Hollywood's falling in love with General Clark, adding: "He's an interesting guy. He's on everyone's radar now. He's the candidate most appealing — at the moment."

In other presidential candidate news, Dick Gephardt will not get labor's early endorsement. The AFL-CIO has decided to delay endorsing a candidate:

...a group of pragmatic union presidents, noting that Mr. Gephardt was not doing well in the polls or in fund-raising, warned that if the federation endorsed him and he flopped in primaries and caucuses, then labor would look weak and out of touch.

Other news: John Edwards has taken the lead in South Carolina. And Gary Hart has endorsed John Kerry.
