Here's how Wes Clark measures up according to a web site labelled 2004. See the site for details: [http://www.clark04.com/issues/].
Although he is apparently not running, the 04 site has many detailed policy papers, some of which address the nine issues by implication rather than directly.
1.Political Corruption: Score 0.5
Wants open government, will reduce corruption to the extent that corruption requires secrecy
2. Military/Industrial Complex: Score 0
Committed to strong military - apparently does not recognize the MIC as a danger
3. Energy: Score 0
Can find no mention of energy alternatives
4. Unions - Labor and Consumer: Score 1
Wants to let workers organize
5. Income and Wealth Disparity: Score 1
Has a tax plan to relieve pressure on the middle class.
6. Elections: Score 0.5
Wants to secure voting for DC citizens, by implication seems to support clean elections
7. Judicial Independence: Score 0
No Mention - no surprise
8. Trade deficits: Score 1
Wants to address the job exporting issue; good start, even though he seems not to metion trade deficit specifically
9. Usury Law: Score 0
No Mention - no surprise
Wes Clark scores 4 out of 9 for a batting average of .444.
Keep him in the game, try to talk him off the DL.
