She put him in this race for this particular reason.

She'll make him her vice president.

Vote for Lieberman.

The shadows are moving again.

The question is: if we act to force them to move before they are ready, will we be in a better posistion for victory?

Al is forcing them to act before they can have the Hilebeast ready for the transformation from human form.

I guess the only thing left to figure out is when Hillary will allow herself to be drafted.
