The Financial Times reports that a new Zogby poll shows Clark in the top five of potential Democratic presidential contenders, and bolsters speculation on a possible Dean/Clark ticket.
"The Zogby poll put support for Mr Dean's candidacy at 16.6 per cent, clearly on an upward trend. Gen Clark got 4.9 per cent, having barely - if at all - registered in previous polls.
..."John Hlinko, one of the co-founders of the movement to co-opt Gen Clark into running for the Democratic nomination, said on Monday that the organisers had been 'blown away' by the public response to the website they set up in April.
..."The attention being generated by Gen Clark's would-be campaign workers - coupled with the momentum being built by the Dean campaign - is fuelling speculation that Gen Clark is being positioned as an ideal running mate for the former Vermont governor."
