Wesley Clark stumps in New Jersey
By Wally EdgeRetired General Wesley Clark, the former NATO Commander and presidential candidate, campaigned for congressional candidate Paul Stuart Aronsohn yesterday in Rochelle Park. Clark, a possible candidate for the '08 Democratic presidential nomination, spoke at an Aronsohn campaign rally at the American Legion Hall and then attended a $200-per-person fundraiser. Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright and Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean recently came to the fifth district on behalf of Aronsohn, a Rotarian-American.

They come to the 5th CD for two reasons. First, nobody really cares what Dr. Dean or Wes Clark think. The fact is that they were among the biggest losers of the Dem presidential primary. Nobody cared about them then...fewer care now.
