Gen. Wes Clark's slogan -- "Securing America's Future" -- is the theme for the night Barack Obama's running mate is scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention.
Clark's political action committee is called WESPAC -- Securing America's Future.
It could just be a coincidence. After all, Clark appeared to dash his hopes of running with Obama in late June when he said getting shot down in Vietnam did not qualify John McCain to be president.
But if Obama believes Clark has strong enough military credentials to snipe at McCain effectively, he might still be in the mix.
On Monday, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Obama adviser Anita Dunn
announced the themes for the various nights of the convention,
including "Securing America's Future" for the third night, when the
vice presidential candidate will speak.
Wes Clark's Slogan is VP's Theme
When asked whether the thematic
choices could be read as an indication that the VP pick would be someone with a
strong background on veterans issues, according to CQ reporter Marie Horrigan, Sebelius said that nothing should be read into that.
An Obama spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment about the coincidence of the VP night theme and Clark's slogan, and Obama has refused to speculate publicly about who he will choose. He told supporters this weekend that he would inform them of his choice by text message and e-mail.
Clark narrowly won CQ's VP Madness earlier this year.
"Every potential vice presidential choice also has a speaking slot and so
nothing should be read into themes or issues or ideas," Sebelius
said.

Let's hope there IS significance to that theme!
What a fantastic team these two would make!!! Both are true gentlemen and scholars who transcend the political games that have swept across our current system. They would feed off each other and challenge each other.
I cannot imagine a tandem better suited to clean up the quagmire in the Middle East and repair the damage done to our constitution. These two would immediately restore our standing in the court of international opinion, and lay the foundation our country needs to again become respected leaders in the world.
Obama/Clark '08!!!
