Norman Transcript Endorses Clark (OK)

[bicentennial_baby]

Gen. Clark best qualified to turn America around

This year, mostly because of the efforts of the late State Sen. Keith Leftwich, Oklahoma voters can actually influence the nominee's selection. It is early in the process and only one of the nine candidates printed on Oklahoma's ballot has dropped from the race.

Many of the candidates are stumping in the state this weekend, hoping to emerge as the leader in Tuesday's contest. Recent polls show many Oklahoma voters remain undecided on the Democratic nominee.

Although there are several qualified and formidable candidates in this race, our leanings are toward Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a relative newcomer to the arena of elected leadership but no stranger to executive leadership and foreign policy.

Gen. Clark graduated first in his class at West Point, studied politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. Thirty-four years ago this month, his unit came under small arms fire and he was wounded. He served as a White House Fellow, in the Office of Management and Budget, commanded battalions and brigades and ended his 34-year military career as Supreme Allied Commander, Europe.
