Oh noooooo, the Clintoons would never stoop to such tactics to advance their puppet man.

[Mr. K]

I am not sure if I understand why derailing Dean and promoting Clark helps HilLIARy! in 2008?

[I still care]

E! had an excellent, pretty evenhanded biography of Bill Clinton this past month. Interviews with Gennifer Flowers and such.

Dick Morris was also on, and he said if their was one factor that was the split between him and Clinton, he said it was that Clinton set private eyes and lawyers on all the women he propositioned, whether they said yes or not.

He said they were threatened that if they told, all their dirty laundry would be released to the press.

[I still care]

I wonder who his vice president would be.

If Dean is the nominee, then the Deanies get all the top positions in the DNC including bouncing Terry McAuliffe from his position as chairman. If the Clintonistas don't control the DNC, Hillary's chances will be hurt.

[princess leah]

Remember that Dean said if he wins the nomination, McCauliffe would be fired! Clintons need MCboy to run the DNC money laundering...oops, I mean money campaigning so Hillary can get her fair share in '08!

[Mike Darancette]

Wow how bad does it have to suck to be a DemocRAT?

A preemptive strike has been made on Clark. Since Dean is now tanking in the polls and seems poised to finish anywhere from 2nd to 4th in the IA Caucuses Clark would seem to be the main beneficiary from an inconclusive IA result. Clark would automatically become the presumptive front runner in NH but for this nuclear sneak attack.

The fault is of course, Clark's, since Clark had to know this would come out and did nothing to preemptively soften the blow.

I would say that Gephardt now has the inside track.

Because most nominees except Al Gore take control of the party win or lose, and Dean has already made it clear that Terry McAwful is the first head on the chopping block. Getting their puppet nominated assures The Klintoons of control while allowing them to "advise" Clark away from winning the Presidency to maintain her Heinousness's road to coronation in 2008.

[DaGman]

If the Clintonistas don't control the DNC, Hillary's chances will be hurt."

Gotta disagree. I think Hillary will be a force for the Deanites to deal with whether they want to or not. Hillary will be the 800 lb. gorilla in '08. You can't deny her immense popularity (at least within the Democratic Party).

[mewzilla]

There are Clintoids in the Clark, Dean, and Kerry campaigns. Maybe some of the others, too. Can't believe the candidates were dumb enough to hire these people.

[mrsmith]

Of course.

The Clinton Gang IS the media.

[Dahoser]

Other veterans of the Clinton scandal wars now working for Clark include ex-Sen. David Pryor, longtime Clinton friend Skip Rutherford, Rep. Rahm Emanuel and Chris Lehane, who, before joining the Gore campaign in 2000, co-authored the written version of Hillary's Vast Right Wing Conspiracy fantasy, then-titled, "The Communications Stream of Conspiracy Commerce."

Plus Katie Couric, Dan Rather, Eleanor Rodham Clift, Peter Jennings, Judy Woodruff, the NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, NPR...

[Mike Darancette]

Now going on DU to read the laff riot.

[expatpat]

You're right. But, in addition, if Dean and Gore have the DNC under their control, it helps Gore when he runs against Hitlary in 2008.

[stylin19a]

This whole scenario reminds me of the GodFather:

"Clark is a pimp. He never cudda outfought Dean. But I didn't know until this day, that it was Clinton all along"

[expatpat]

Clark is their puppet -- he does what he's told.

[Cicero]

That's been my theory for the past year or so. Hillary will be the candidate in 2004.

She used Dean to knock the early front-runner, Mr. Ketchup, out of the race. Now she is using Clark to knock Dean out of the race. She is determined to see a nine-way tie among the candidates, and she will use her FBI files to ensure that all of them stay in the race to the bitter end.

Then she will be nominated by acclaim after the convention deadlocks next July. Perfect. She will have the nomination without having to expose herself running for it.

If Dean wins, The Clinton's are no longer in charge of the democratic money machine.
