But now there's talk that former Gen. Wesley Clark, a backer of Sen. Hillary Clinton, is getting the once-over from Sen. Barack Obama, the likely Democratic nominee. Reason: The ex-NATO boss would give Obama some national security credentials, and he might make it easier for Clintonistas to join the Obama bandwagon.
