Wesley Clark drops out here.

I don't see Clark as a VP candidate, but he might make an interesting choice for Secretary of State.

Also, in a speech later this afternoon, President Bush will clarify his position on WMD and proliferation.

My guess?

We're going to see the return of the assertive Bush. He's been on the defensive lately, and that doesn't work for him. Also, following the State of the Union let down, and to a smaller extent the Russert interview, he needs to give the base something inspirational. Just ask Peggy Noonan:

"Mr. Bush's supporters expect him to do well in speeches, and to inspire them in speeches. And he has in the past. The recent State of the Union was a good speech but not a great one, and because of that some Bush supporters were disappointed. They put the bar high for Mr. Bush in speeches, and he clears the bar. But his supporters don't really expect to be inspired by his interviews.

I expect he'll give them something to sink their teeth into today.
