Arkansan Wesley Clark endorsed his
former rival John Kerry of Massachusetts today at a rally in
Madison, Wisconsin.
Kerry greeted Clark on stage by saluting the former Army general
and Clark raised Kerry`s hand over their heads. Kerry is a former
Navy lieutenant who was a decorated Vietnam War veteran.
Clark, also a decorated Vietnam veteran, turned to front-runner
Kerry and called him, "Our friend, our leader and the next
president of the United States."
Using an old military analogy for his political endorsement,
Clark said to Kerry, "Sir, requesting permission to come aboard;
the Army`s here."
Clark withdrew from the presidential primary race on Wednesday
in Little Rock.
