Clark Will Participate in Campaign Debate
By RON FOURNIER .c The Associated Press
They said yes. Then no. Now it's yes again: Wesley Clark will participate in next week's Democratic presidential debate after all, his campaign said.
Clark will accept the invitation to next Thursday's debate via a letter to Democratic Party Chairman Terry McAuliffe carried by several members of a draft-Clark group, a senior campaign official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.
The letter will be delivered Friday, weather permitting, the official said.
On Thursday, Clark aide Barbara Leyton called the Democratic National Committee and said the retired general would participate in the debate and the party's fund-raising dinner afterward. But other campaign officials said she was wrong; Clark had not decided to attend.
Two Democratic presidential rivals challenged Clark to be in the debate, increasing pressure on the retired general who has had little to say about domestic policies.
The debate, the second in a series of six sponsored by the DNC, will focus on economic issues. It will be broadcast live on CNBC.
Clark's campaign had said he had a schedule conflict and was to deliver a paid speech in Texas. It wasn't immediately clear who was paying Clark or how he adjusted his schedule to accommodate the debate.
