But he went on to campaign for Obama. When Hillary went back to her Senate office after the campaign, the very first person she saw was Gen. Clark; I always thought she may have offered him a job at the state dept., and maybe he didn't want it. I sort of agree with #18 above. He is very liberal, which is why I supported him for his own run for pres., the ideal combination of military smarts and experience, and liberal domestic philosophy. He may not want a role in government now.
