The issue, Clark said, was "whether I'm going to be the commander in chief or not." Clark said he felt he could make the "best contribution" to the country as president "because I believe I'm the best qualified person to protect the United States..."
Clark, an Arkansas native, said he was "absolutely not" interested in being Dean's running mate, adding "I don't see that in the cards."
