WASHINGTON - Democratic front-runner Howard Dean tried to head off a challenge from retired Gen. Wesley Clark by offering to name the former military man as his running mate, Clark said yesterday.
The deal was discussed in September, before Clark threw his hat into the ring, and was dismissed outright, according to Clark.
Dean "did offer me the vice presidency. And what I told him was, that's not the issue," Clark said on ABC's This Week. The veep slot "was sort of discussed . . . and dangled before I made the decision to run."
But Dean's campaign manager, Joe Trippi, went on the same show to claim the offer never happened.
