| Clark files for Feb 3 SC Primary |
| (Columbia-AP) -- More than 100 supporters
cheered today as retired Army General Wesley Clark turned over 4,000
signatures to state Democratic Party leaders to get his name on the
February 3rd presidential primary ballot. South Carolina party Chairman Joe Erwin said Clark was the first candidate to register in person at party headquarters in Columbia. Clark spent the day campaigning in the state with former South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges, New York Democratic Congressman Charlie Rangel and former ambassador Andrew Young. The crowd at Democratic Party headquarters was a mix of black and white, old and young and cheered everything Clark had to say. Clark saved all his venom for President Bush and never mentioned any of his eight Democratic opponents. Tomorrow, Clark and Rangel were to continue the campaign in Florence, where Clark would serve meals at the Manna House. He was scheduled to return to Columbia for a Young Democrats event Monday night. |
