In NH, Clark doesn’t answer question about presidential run
Former General Wesley Clark attended a private fund-raiser for Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter in New Hampshire over the weekend where he was asked repeatedly if he is going to run for president a second time.
The event was closed to the press, but a longtime Clark supporter Susan Putney wrote a blog entry about the event quoting him as saying, “I'm not a candidate for president, but I haven't said I won't run".
That wasn’t good enough for Putney, who was the lead New Hampshire organizer in the 2003 Draft Clark movement, who asked again if he would announce his intentions to run in the next three months.
Clark demurred, saying that if he became a candidate everything he said would be viewed as political statements, rather than policy proposals.
