Does anyone know what the deadline to register as a candidate for the DemocRats? I think I read or heard 180 days before the election??

Deadlines don't matter.

(And I'm not saying that because I'm from NJ where Lousenberg somehow managed to replace Torricelli after our laws said he could not.)

The Democrats can nominate whomever they please at their convention. We're so used to the conventions being a mere formality after the primary process that our eyes have been diverted from the Commodities Scam Queen's path to power. I do not believe she will run in any primaries. But she will do whatever she can to prevent one person from locking up the nomination by winning enough primaries to have a majority of the delegates committed to vote for that candidate on the first ballot. Then she can ride in on her Black Broom and walk away with the nomination. It saves a lot of money and it avoids the messiness of having to dodge questions for as long as possible.

The clintons have arrogated the Democratic party in perpetuity,
have remade it in their ugly image,
and have,in the span of a few short years, therefore,
managed not only to destroy their party utterly,
but to begin to take this great country down wih it.

One has to wonder how much longer
the average D pol will tolerate this noxious pair....
There are doubtless multiple coups in the works.
Susan Estrich is merely greasing the guillotine.

missus clinton's Cover Lies and the Howard Dean Syndrome

Mia T, 6.25.03

 

The clinton Complex-Question Fallacy Scheme notwithstanding, it is axiomatic and confirmed on a daily basis by clinton "infrastructure" strategy, itself, that hillary ("listening tour" / cozy-clintonoid-interviews-of-the-Colmes-kind) clinton is no better than Howard Dean at withstanding media scrutiny... and is likely significantly worse.

From this it follows--if one also notices that media genuflection before the altar of clinton is no longer de rigueur--that hillary clinton cannot survive the standard, lengthy, probing presidential-campaign process. An end run is her only option.

And contrary to conventional wisdom, time is not on her side. Not only are the clintons in general decline, but in this post-9/11 world,

as increasingly, more clinton failures and betrayals are documented, demographics favorable to liberals projected for 2008 will not resuscitate disfavored, dysfunctional, dangerous demagogues like the clintons.

Look, therefore, for the clintons to make their move in '04. Susan Estrich, Al From and The Times aren't on the same "Get the clintons off the stage!" page for no reason.
