Hillary

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Do my eyes deceive me? The morning after Super Tuesday expired with a burst of fireworks enhaloing the hunk of granite that is John Kerry's head, Sen. Hillary Clinton -- still the most popular Democrat in the country -- pops up at Washington's Mayflower Hotel to give a major speech on trade and manufacturing, two burning issues during the Democrats' primary season. What can this mean?

Several weeks back, as Kerry emerged as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, that veteran Clinton-watcher with the keen eye for political machinations, Dick Morris, announced that Hillary had become a likely prospect as Kerry's running mate. Morris' observation makes sense. Kerry is a regional candidate. Hillary has national reach. She is the most popular Democratic candidate in the land. Owing to her feminism and her cachet with the other building blocks of the Democratic coalition she could, as Morris puts it, turn the presidential campaign into a "national crusade." Moreover, with the vast financial resources she commands, she could be for Kerry's campaign what his wife has been for Kerry's lifestyle: a bonanza.

What is more, sources have told me that Clinton loyalists have been calling Democrats around the country telling them to prevail on Kerry at least to invite Hillary to be on his ticket. Kerry needs help. For most of his senatorial career, he has been a loner, and the source of too many bizarre utterances. As recently as December his candidacy was dead in the water. Kerry has not been the consensus Democratic candidate. Rather, he is the candidate the consensus has settled on.

Hillary is at the center of the party. Some would say she sits atop it. The Clintons' servitor, Terry McAuliffe, heads the Democratic National Committee. Her political action committees are prodigious fund-raising mechanisms. Another of her servitors, Harold Ickes, controls financial honey pots with reserves of over $100 million. Thus Hillary is the most likely source of prestige and funding for the impecunious Kerry.

More recently, sources tell me that longtime Clinton supporters including those in the now-defunct Clark campaign have been told to sit tight and await unfolding events as though "something big" is about to happen. And Hillary's fund-raising operations have curiously slowed. She has been the top Democratic fund-raising draw since 2000. But three months ago, her fund-raising appearances seemingly fell off. In the last election cycle, she did four to five fund-raisers a week. Now she is down to one or two.

With her early morning speech just after Super Tuesday, she may be approaching that "something big" that her old supporters have been promised. In addressing trade and manufacturing at the Mayflower on Wednesday, she confronts two staples of Ralph Nader's song and dance -- a song and dance that will be heard many times as his third party candidacy gets underway. Nader's candidacy could become a political "giant sucking sound" of votes away from Kerry. At the Mayflower, Hillary demonstrates her political value to Kerry as a neutralizer of Nader.

It makes perfect sense for Hillary to get into the Democratic presidential action now. She has enormous power, and as with all political power, if you do not use it you run the risk that you might lose it.

Running as veep on a Kerry ticket might not doom her to second fiddle for eight years. The trial might last only eight months, and if the valiant ticket goes down to the hellish Bush, she would be seen as the loyalest of loyal Democrats, a Joan of Arc to her party. Her rights on the presidential nomination in 2008 would be secure. Then, too, some shocking revelations might surface about Sen. John Pierre Kerry before convention time. Things like that have happened before in this Democratic race. Ask Dr. Howard Dean.

Come to think of it, ask Kerry. In that event, Hillary, the loyalest of the loyal, would be there to lift the party from chaos and against the Forces of Darkness. Whatever transpires, the Clintons are active again.

If he is stupid enough to put her in the veep spot, there's not an insurance company in the world that would underwrite a life insurance policy on him.

Tyrrell has the patent on sublime. If Billy was the boy president, what shall thy Hillary be?

I cannot believe she ever made it on that committee. She is as qualified for that seat as she is for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition model.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Been saying this since Aug last year.

[al baby]

Does anyone even think Kerry will still be alive by the dem convention

[Jeff Chandler]

What choice does he have? The bimbo eruption was a shot across the bow.

"She is as qualified for that seat as she is for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition model."

Don't put Hillary and swimsuit model in the same sentence. It's vulgar.

[Jeff Chandler]

"something big" is about to happen.

A stinkbomb thrown at W?

[MamaLucci]

When serial felons are not prosecuted...

Exactly. President Bush, Orrin Hatch, and all beltway
republicans had better drop the "new tone" BS, and
fight as if all of our lives depended on it......

[upchuck]

Owing to her feminism and her cachet with the other building blocks of the Democratic coalition...

Owing to her what? Yeah, it's a female, I guess. But I've never seen any "feminism."

[secret garden]

Vulgar would be the most polite way to refer to anything about hillary.

[blackbart.223]

"Vulgar would be the most polite way to refer to anything about hillary."

Agreed.

[blackbart.223]

I could have gone all night without an image of Hillary being posted. You just had to do it and ruin my supper.

Beyond vulgar.

Demonic S & M in text!

[Quix]

Am inclined to agree but I hope they do so from a lofty moral stance vs in the trenches at the scum's level.

>>Does anyone even think Kerry will still be alive by the dem convention

>>What choice does he have? The bimbo eruption was a shot across the bow.

Yes indeed. She is continuing to campaign for the TOP of the TICKET, as if she KNOWS with absolute certainty that something will happen to Kerry before the election.

And you're right, that bimbo thing was a pretty obvious last minute shot at trying to sink Kerry and save Edwards.

[spodefly]

Embrace the horror.

Dick Morris, announced that Hillary had become a likely prospect as Kerry's running mate...Another of her servitors, Harold Ickes, controls financial honey pots with reserves of over $100 million.

All three should be flogged in public.

[Sacajaweau]

Good Point....But I would suggest that he would be forced to resign because Hillary would float some info on him that would instantly bring him down....and it's likely to be something on Vietnam that is treasonous. She would step in to "save the nation" (besides)and become an unelected Prez.
The Clintons are blackmailers. Just look at the cr** they floated on the women Bubba had affairs with and the lies connected to them.

Our lives do depend on it. An al-Qerry presidency would be disatrous for America, and for free Americans (it would be wonderful for the socialists and their ilk, though).

[ought-six]

I wonder what she is describin gin that picture? I have an idea, put it is soooooooo un-PC.

[nmh]

#13 the quintessential pear shaped body with an evil persona.

[backhoe]

Thanks- she's quite a piece of work. Or a work in progress.

I don't think we'll ever be free of "Clintons in yer face!"

[MamaLucci]

...(it would be wonderful for the socialists and their ilk, though).

It sure would be, which is why they are mobilizing
worldwide to help him get elected. The coming battle
will be of near biblical proportions.
