I don't think Clark ever got in this to get the nomination, more likely to provide "defense gravitas" to the ultralib who gets the nomination. and what ultra lib anti-military candidate would need a general more than Hillary?
Press doesn't want to believe she's running bc he holds to the "truth" of Hillary. He doesn't want to admit publically that Hillary will run if the numbers look good, and maybe even if they don't.

The guy who claims that aliens contacted him via the White House switchboard on 9/11? The guy who saved Europe from the monumental threat of Serbia? He's the Democrats most serious military man to run since George B. "Case-of-the-Slows" McClellan.

Hillary won't get in unless Dean falters and Kerry gains traction. I think Hillary's calculus is that Dean has "no-chance" in the general election, but Kerry could conceivably pull it off.
