Clark's plans  

This report via Taegan makes it look like Wesley Clark won't be running for president. If this is true, it's a big blow to Democrats. Clark is one of the few potential candidates who has any credibility on national security issues, and having him in the primary would have forced others to address these issues. I think if he walks away now it rules out VP too, but look for him as a national security advisor if a Democrat takes office in 2005.

Also Gary Hart, who seems poised to announce his candidacy, has a convincing post on what should be the Democrats' approach to 2004:

Democrats will only win the White House when we convince a majority of voters - including Independents and moderate Republicans - that we have sufficient depth of understanding and experience in world affairs and increasingly complex security issues to promote legitimate American interests as well as to create economic growth and justice. We're now part of a revolutionary new world and can no longer pretend that our own economic challenges are separate from it.
