1.) Clarke is a registered Republican and has been his entire adult life. He's also an ardent Hawk who testified that while he thought Clinton did better job than Bush, it was nowhere good enough, it failed.

2.) Since he stated under oath that he would not accept work from the Kerry administration, and now doing so would make him guilty of perjury, I'm not sure what political reasons you think motivated him.

If all you mean is that he wants Kerry to win, well duh. He has said publicly he thinks Bush has done a terrible job. If that's what he thinks, of course he wants Kerry to win.
