For those of you who’ve been wondering what Wesley Clark has been up to lately, it turns out he’s still very engaged in party politics. In fact, he’s starting a political action committee called — you guessed it — Wes PAC.
The purpose of the PAC is to discuss national security and make it a forefront issue of the Democratic Party in a way that only a former NATO and Army general can. Kathryn Grunden, his ex-campaign assistant, is heading it up.
Associates say the effort is timely in light of new polling that Americans are turning their attention to terrorism and national security issues, apparently satisfied that the economic recovery is in full swing. We also hear that Clark is in the process of launching a new Web site. It’s going to include info on his PAC and his business ventures with Leadership for America consulting.
It’s good to see that Clark, if he’s not on Kerry’s ticket, will remain a player. Dems will need all of the experienced, articulate voices on national security and foreign policy that we can get.
