I just watched the CNN interview with Blitzer this morning. Clark laid out his reasons for supporting Clinton very well. As I recall from the interview they are:

1) Strong character demonstrated by years of standing up to Republican attacks

2) We need a President who will be ready to deal with a crises from day one

3) Clinton has expereince in how foreign policy and diplomacy work; she was deeply involved in the Bill Clinton White House. She was, "there in the Balkans with us" he said.

4) It's not as clear that Obama woud be ready to deal with a crises from day one, nor that he really understands how international dipomacy works in the real world...the Utube debate controversy was brought up by Blitzer, and Clark agreed with Clinton on that.

I haven't decided if I'll be voting for Clinton or Obama yet. Obama gives me hope (that must be sounding rather cliche by now) but I'm still not clear on what an Obama Presidency would be like and what it would accomplish. There are things I like and don't like about Clinton as well, but right now I'm leaning a bit more toward Clinton if I had to vote today (which I don't). Clinton is more of a known, and Obama is still a little too much of an unknown. We are living in dangerous times, and we need a win this time around for sure.
