It's time to discuss what every political pundit and newsperson around the country knows is going to happen on Election Day, or at least after the Electoral College meets, but refuses to discuss in public. John Kerry is going to lose the presidential election and it won't be nearly as close electorally as it was when Al Gore lost back in 2000. Why? Hillary. (Like Evita, Imelda, Monica, and other infamous First Ladies, you don’t need to use her last name.) To be candid, it’s my opinion that Hillary can’t and won’t risk Kerry winning this presidential election cycle as she must have a clear field to pave the way for her to be the Democratic Party nominee in 2008 or she'll miss her only viable window of opportunity.
Kerry Must Lose
For the sake of discussion, let us assume Kerry wins next month. By definition, he then becomes the Democratic Party nominee for president in 2008. Yes, there have been situations in the past where the incumbent has declined to run for reelection--see Lyndon Johnson--but I seriously doubt in today’s society that Kerry and his handlers would let a situation get so uncontrollable he would have no recourse but to announce his decision to not run for reelection. (Then again, Bill and Hill never did return those 900+ stolen FBI files.) Given this scenario, Hillary would not want to challenge an incumbent president in her own party for the nomination in 2008. After all, she must always give the appearance of a smiling team player even though she’s anything but. Thus, a Kerry win next month would mean Hillary would have to wait until 2012. (By the way, Hillary will be sixty-five years old on Election Day, 2012.) No, it’s got to be, and will be, 2008.
One Term Senator
Furthermore, I predict Hillary will not run to keep her Senate seat for the good state of New York when her term is up in 2006. While no one can know for sure who the Republican opponent will be, my guess is it will either be Governor George Pataki or former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. I think she’s guessing the same thing and she knows in a head-to-head contest with either of these real New Yorkers there is no way Carpetbag Clinton--damn, I used her last name--can win. However, this is only part of the reason why I believe Hillary won’t be running for reelection to the Senate in 2006. Not only would a loss to Governor Pataki or Mayor Giuliani be devastating on the resume of a first term Junior Senator but remember that Hillary knows Kerry will lose on Election Day, 2004, and therefore she will have a clear shot at the Democratic Party nomination in 2008. In early 2006, Hillary will announce her decision to not run for reelection to the people of New York telling them instead she’ll be touring the country for the next year on a some fact finding mission for the children, which is Hillary-speak for starting a presidential exploratory committee. Then in 2007, she’ll announce to a fawning press that she’ll be seeking the Democratic Party nomination for president in 2008.
Kerry’s Trojan Horse
How does Hillary know Kerry will lose on Election Day? Have you seen Kerry’s inner circle lately? It looks like the White House during the Monica Mess (no pun intended). Is Kerry really so naïve as to believe Bill and Hill’s closest advisors are actually working to help him get elected? If I was inclined to give Kerry the benefit of the doubt, I would bring up the famous quote by Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone character in Godfather II, “[My father] taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." However, I think Kerry’s made a tragic mistake in bringing in these advisors. I think Paul Begala, James Carville, Joe Lockhart may turn out to be his Trojan Horse. They are no doubt paying lip service to Kerry while secretly taking orders from Hillary, through a buffer, of course. Hillary must always have a buffer. Her family has a lot of buffers.
60 Minutes Redux
If Kerry should begin to surge in the polls by the end of the week, I expect some explosive piece of dirt about him (most likely about his four month war record, did you know he was in Vietnam) to be leaked via the Vast Left-Wing Cover-Up--that's 60 Minutes and company for those who haven't been paying attention lately. The release of this dirt will be made to look like it came from the Bush Camp (for example, Karl Rove by way of Dick Cheney and Halliburton...). Think it's too far-fetched a scenario? Think the tin-foil hat is pulled down too tight over my ears. Remember, those FBI files. Hillary must have an open field in 2008.
Electronic Voting
It was mentioned earlier that the electoral vote wouldn’t be close but nothing was said about the popular vote. Unfortunately, I think the popular vote still might be close and once again there is a reason behind this madness. Since liberals recognize the tough time they would have in amending the U.S. Constitution to eliminate the Electoral College, they decided to start with a different approach back on Election Day 2000. Ever since, they have been using incremental steps to begin federalizing the presidential election process. The fiasco they created in Florida in 2000 has forced this year’s election to be performed electronically nationwide for the first time. (Yes, Al Gore created the 2000 Presidential Election fiasco. Liberals like to conveniently forget he initially called George Bush and conceded the election. Shortly thereafter, he called again and recanted. I wonder whom he spoke to in the interim.) As a result of electronic voting, there will not be a paper trail. No viable way to do a recount. Is it legal for me to take a camera into the voting booth so I create my own paper trail of the selection on my screen(s) before I click Vote?
Winning By Decree
The only remaining question left to answer this year, a year with some districts reporting over 100% of their voters registered, is how the legal system will be used to decide the outcome. I hope if it’s clear to either side that the other has won they will make the decent and honorable decision and concede the election. I believe Bush will do so, but I’m not so sure about Kerry. After all, Al Gore set the precedent for the Democrats. Even if Kerry were to concede, I suspect there will be some districts where the vote will be very close and there is no doubt in my mind there are small groups in these hot-spots greasing up their lawyers to file lawsuits. I’m confident the legal briefs have already been written, probably on both sides. Should Kerry win, then the briefs will find their way into a shredder. On the other hand, the moment these groups hear of anything less than a win by Kerry the lawsuit gets filed, which is exactly how Hillary wants it. The muddier the process gets, the more cumbersome the election laws become in 2008 when Hillary will be running.
Smartest. Woman. Ever.
Reread the above heading using the voice of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons and add a hint of sarcasm. If you’ve never seen The Simpsons, your loss. The media gave Hillary the title “Smartest Woman in the World”, yet she "misplaced" her college thesis, flunked the DC bar exam back in 1973 and she chaired the Task Force on National Health Care Reform back in 1993, which was considered by most across this country to be a total failure. She rode the coattails of her husband from the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion into the White House and from the White House into the U.S. Senate. Though she is only a Junior Senator, many consider her one of the most powerful people in Washington, DC. I wonder why? Must be those damn FBI files, again.
By the way, “Who hired Craig Livingstone?” Hillary? No, the buffer. Haven't you been paying attention?

She won't.
She will NEVER, did you hear me, NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER get confirmed.
Good article, but using "hillary" and "brief(s)" in the title clouds my perception with a foul odor.
I am sure that you have had your share of tin foil hats over the past couple of years. I think you are right that W will win. I am glad you are doing well too.
Kerry is a lazy, arrogant elitist with little real ambition and a very poor work ethic. When he loses, he will simply drift away to the things he was doing. All the others would have used even a losing status to lead a crusade. And any other one would have been a competitor in 2008. Kerry won't.
The other key thing for Hillie is to maintain absolute control of the DNC and it's money and scummy resources. If Kerry is elected, he'll replace McAuliffe and may be smart enough to realize the risks (unlike Bush) that every Clintonista represent. When Kerry loses, McAuliffe and all his lying scumbags stay in place, ready to slime for Hillie in 2008. Her VP, BTW, will be Weaselly Clark.
Don't forget Edwards, that disgusting little turd of a plaintiff's lawyer. If Kerry were elected, Edwards would be working to position himself for 2012, blocking Hillie. But, Edwards was selected as Kerry's running mate solely to be a burden. He adds nothing to a nothing guy and was appointed to help drag Kerry down.
However, portions of the electorate are pretty stupid and the left wing media is pulling out all the stops. So, it may not be as automatic as we believe. That is why I believe that there will be an October surprise leak of something Hillie got out of Kerry's secret FBI file. Don't know what it is but don't be too surprised by some revelation. I personally believe he has been married three times and information on one of the weddings, while not completely secret, has been surpressed.
I posted this last month on FR
"The far left aspect of Kerry will not swing the centrist or moderates that are on the fence of every election. It is no secret that they are the key to winning and the ones who have decided every election of the last century. Even the Dem's made note of this fact upon losing the 2000 election. Their statement then was that they must move toward a centrist position to win the next election. Their statements in 2000 supports the fact that John Kerry was never intended to win. The Democrats conceded the election before the 2004 campaign even started by chosing him.
Just look at this leftwing extremist they are running. He has enough negative aspects from the Vietnam war protest alone to knock him out of contention. I thought from the beginning that the objective was to wait and win in 2008 with two terms into 2016 with Hillary Clinton. There is something about this time frame that is appealing to the D's. If Kerry won the 2004 election it would kill Hillary's chance of running because of Kerry's automatic second term shot. Besides "W" hasn't finished cleaning up the playground yet. j"
I think we have seen the writing on the wall........j
No!
The left will continue to revere anything Clinton, Carter, Kennedy, and now, Kerry; they are the same lineage, the same cult, and the same coven!
It is sad but true that the center and right will have to fight this battle every election, every time the dark side puts forth it's lure; they don't go away, they only lay back and let their allies do the spade work.
>>The best solution to Hillary's political problems is for Kerry to win and appoint her Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Disagree. Chief Justice doesn't wield enough power for Hillary's tastes.
Excellent job.
For the most part I have been saying what you have said (only no where near as well) for the better part of two years.
Thanks for the kind words, lancer. Good to hear from you, too, my friend.
Hillary? Briefs?
I thought she wore boxers...
>>I am so sick and tired of folks here thinking her thighness is electable.
I never said she was electable. :)
where is the GWB interview part 2 thread?
Agreed. I am sick of the constant undercurrent of Clintons here. They are played out. Even my Dem friends hate Hillary.
>>Exactly how do you know this?
I'm speculating. Just like Hillary did back in 1978 when she turned a trading account containing $1,000 into $100,000 in less than a year trading cattle futures. :)
I don't want to think about it.
Does not matter what Hillary wants...
our MSM wants Bush defeated and he'll
need God Himself to insure he's not
cheated out of a righteous win.
Here is something to think about ... They do want Kerry to win and Hellary will take Dashole's place in the Senate
