Wes Clark Endorses Mike Ross for Arkansas Governor [View all]

LITTLE ROCK - Former NATO Commander Wesley Clark is backing Democrat Mike Ross' bid for Arkansas governor next year.

The retired Army general and one-time presidential candidate on Wednesday announced he was endorsing Ross in the governor's race. Ross is a former congressman who represented south Arkansas and is running against former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter for the Democratic nomination.

In a statement issued by the campaign, Clark praised Ross' work in Congress on behalf of the nation's armed forces and said he believed Ross could address challenges like the state's veterans hospitals. Clark lives in Little Rock.

I'm guessing that Halter is not going to make the primaries.
