Clark on Air America and Fox (with VP notes)
Clark appeared on Air America to discuss the situation with Russia and Georgia. Rachel Maddow couldn't help but ask about his VP prospects. He said he had an appointment in Milan, Italy, that night during the convention, though also indicated that his plans were still open to change. More serious signs are that his son says he is not under consideration and, more significantly in my view, he would not need to be fundraising to campaign if he was on the ticket - that is covered by the presidential campaign fund itself.
WesPAC has the transcript. A highlight:
And so, the result is that you've got a split emerging in Europe and this is what the United States has to work with. If we're going really to check Russian aggression, we, we best do it not with force but with unity and resolve, and that requires leadership. And I think Barack Obama's the right person to provide that leadership.
Update: Later, Clark appeared on Fox to promote his view about how to resolve the Georgia crisis through strengthening U.S.-European unity and NATO. Cavuto seemed more interested in trying to trap Clark into saying that Obama was "weak" (i.e., not sufficiently warmongering), and looks to have cut him off at the end!
