what state is Wesley Clark from anyway?
I was told he's from Arkansas, but according to here:

He was born in Chicago and now lives in Virginia. That still makes him a southerner though.

2. Here you go!
From DraftClark:

"Wesley Clark was born on December 23rd, 1944 in Chicago, into an Orthodox Jewish Family. His father Benjamin Kanne, a lawyer and Democratic Party politician, died when Wesley was five years old. His mother, Veneta Kanne Clark, from Arkansas originally, moved the family back to Little Rock where she remarried a former banker, Victor Clark. Wesley was raised as a Baptist (he converted to Catholicism during Vietnam), and attended the local public schools. Influential in his youth was Jimmy Miller, a WW II veteran who coached swimming at the Boys Club. Wesley Clark became married to the former Gertrude Kingston of Brooklyn, New York, during Vietnam."

3. Proud Graduate of Little Rock Hall High...
as Valedictorian no less. 1st in his class at West Point, Rhodes Scholar, Purple Heart awardee in Vietnam, Allied Supreme Commander......the exact, polar opposite of Bush.

Being an intelligent war hero, he will also, no doubt, be the target of freeper attacks as time goes on.
