It should be any day now--maybe even tomorrow. Wesley Clark has summoned his top aides to Little Rock to strategize his presidential bid.

Top advisors include: George Bruno, a New Hampshire activist; Mark Fabiani, former spokesman for the Clinton White House; Ron Klain, a strategist in Al Gore's 2000 campaign; and Washington lawyer Bill Oldaker.

Is it too late? Probably not.

A Clark White House bid would grab the political spotlight and undercut the strength of several in the nine-way Democratic race. However, he would be competing against more experienced politicians with more money and deeper staffs. An Internet-fueled draft-Clark movement has developed the seeds of a campaign and more than $1 million in pledges.

There's a nice profile of Clark today in the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Right now Dean and Gephardt are tied in the latest Iowa poll. Kerry moves backward (in our view) as his top communications director resigns over campaign differences. Dean leads Kerry in the latest New Hampshire polls. Kerry challenged Dean to a one-on-one debate yesterday and Dean refused, saying it would be unfair to the other challengers.

We won't be surpised to see the race boil down to Dean and Clark, although Gephardt clearly has some support. Daily Kos sees it much the same way, except for Lieberman, who he thinks is stronger than we do.

Kerry looks like he's floundering, especially with Lehane's resignation. And Clark upstages him on the military credentials front. Edwards now has to share the stage with another Southerner. Graham is literally irrelevant.

Gep and Lieberman, while losing some support, should do fine. As should Dean. If Clark enters, this race will come down to those four. Everyone else will just be garnish.

If Bill Clinton endorses Clark, that could be a major plus for Clark.
