I was expecting Wes Clark to announce his candidacy for president today. He was the only non-contenter to address the convention in any non-convention business way. Word around here is that he's scheduled to be on MSNBC on Sunday as well which is out of character for him. But he didn't announce. What're you going to do?
The bulk of his speech centered around his "I'm a soldier and I'm fighting for our country" theme. He was big on bringing the troops out of Iraq in a timely and sensible manner pointing out that "every time there's a casualty, I feel the pain personally." He didn't spare the President criticism saying "we have a president who mistakes stubbornness for strength and slogans for strategy." Gen. Clark's speech had the highest amount of criticism of the President, likely because he's not running for anything so he can speak his mind while the candidates were trying more to sell themselves than attack George W. Bush.
