Мадона открито подкрепя номинирания за кандидат - президент на демократите в Америка Уесли Кларк. Възможно е да се включи и активно в кампанията му. Медиите вече полудаха:
From correspondents in Washington - December 17, 2003
Former vice president Al Gore may be supporting Howard Dean, but retired army general Wesley Clark has support in his quest for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination from ... Madonna.
The Material Girl yesterday threw her support behind the retired four-star general, one of nine Democrats seeking to replace George W. Bush in the November 2004 election.
"I endorse him because I think he's a great guy," the pop superstar said on CNN Tuesday. "I think he's a natural born leader."
Madonna believes that because of his military experience Clark "knows how to deal with pressure," and as the former NATO supremo "has a good handle in foreign policy."
Clark spokesman Jamal Simmons was star-struck by the endorsement.

The Material Girl has stepped onto the political stage and endorsed Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark.
"I think he has a good handle on foreign policy, I think he's good with people, and I think he has a heart and a consciousness," pop singer Madonna said. "He's interested in spirituality, I mean, those things mean a lot to me."
The singer and children's book author met Clark a few weeks ago for over an hour. In an interview recorded last week with CNN's Denise Quan, Madonna said they discussed his becoming president.
The singer told Quan she had decided to support the former general and she felt Clark was a natural-born leader.
"As it stands right now, he's got my support," Madonna said.
The two were introduced by "Bowling for Columbine" filmmaker Michael Moore, who was an early supporter of Clark.
Madonna said she saw a few television interviews with Clark and wanted to meet with him herself.
"I think to be the general for as long as he's been, this is a man who knows how to deal with pressure and make decisions under pressure," Madonna said.
Clark, a retired Army general, was NATO's supreme commander during the 1999 air war against Yugoslavia.
He testified Monday and Tuesday in the war crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, now held in The Hague.
"We're delighted with the endorsement of a superstar for our four-star," said Matt Bennett, a Clark campaign spokesman.
