about both Kerry and Clark, I wouldn't be too quick to prejudge Clark's actions. If Kerry did have a potentially explosive issue that could destroy his candidacy, and Clark knew of it, his options were not good. Particularly if you believe that the press was unwilling to cover it until Clark was out. He may have made the statements as a last ditch effort to get it out there while he was still in, but it did not work. They were only going to run it if Clark was out (and there was no question they would run it). Clark would have been crucified if he had come out publicly. Should Clark have stayed in so the issue would be delayed until the GE? I don't see the "good answer.
