Clark's Background Echoes That of Clinton
Fri Nov 21, 2:46 AM ET

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - They are sons of Arkansas, born to doting mothers of modest means and fathers who died before either child had entered kindergarten. While the public lives of presidential candidate Wesley Clark (news - web sites) and former President Clinton (news - web sites) differ, their personal lives offer striking similarities.

And check out those great pictures of Clark & Bubba together. Good stuff.

4. personal lives similar? yuck

Clinton's "personal life" was what almost got him kicked out of office. no thanks!

5. Clark has most of the positives of Clinton

without that type of baggage. They are also both up there in brain power. Clark is more focused and overtly intense, but less of a politician.

6. the one positive

I want to see is Hillary as his VP!
