About 100 staffers in the Wesley
Clark presidential campaign have voluntarily agreed to forgo pay
for a week to help fund campaign ads in Tennessee.
Clark has spent roughly one (m) million dollars in television,
radio and direct mail ads in the state.
A campaign spokesman said the workers did it for the good of the
cause.
He said it`s NOT true that the campaign is out of money.
Both Tennessee and Virginia hold primaries next Tuesday, but
aides say Clark is concentrating on Tennessee, where he was
expected to face strong competition from Senator John Edwards. His
campaign has spent heavily on television advertising in that state
as well as in Virginia and Wisconsin, which holds its primary
February 17th.
But aides say the campaign may end its advertising in those
states and make Tennessee the make-or-break contest.
Clark`s only primary victory so far came yesterday in Oklahoma,
where he edged out Edwards.
