There are candy bars, buttons, signs and a national commercial, with Clark looking more presidential with each passing day.

The patriotic spirit was alive and well at Satrudays rally. Korean and Vietnam veteran Johnny Williams says Clark`s military background is needed to rebound from a war he doesn`t believe was necessary. "Hopefully, some way we can bounce back but we could never recover those lives that we`re losing over there, to me, in vain," says Williams. Larry Huynh came all the way from San Francisco to hang his hat on the man he says will make a difference in foreign policy "He`s a man who doesn`t want the U.S. to exercise its muscle internationally because it can," Huynh says.
