Wesley Clark 

A Rhodes Scholar, succesful businessman, retired four-star general and Supreme Allied Commander-Europe, who has proved himself to be a leader in time of war and peace, a diplomat and a soldier. A soft-spoken man who graduated first in his class at West Point, he went on to fight for his country in Vietnam, where he was gravely wounded and won the Silver Star for Valor. An Arkansas-native, he is a progressive who can connect with the South and is not afraid to challenge the current President on matters of National Security.
With God's help, Wesley Clark will be the 44th President of the United States.
