[Background music] Male Announcer: What kind of leader will he be? 

From a middle class background he graduated first in his class at West Point and rose to become a four-star general. 

He was never a "yes man," and stood up for what he believed was right. 

He fought for better schools and for better health care for those he led because it was the right thing to do. 

A quiet, real American courage, he will make an extraordinary American president.

Wes Clark (voiceover): I'm Wes Clark and I approve this message.
