I think you're right. I can't imagine that the Clintons and McAwful will allow a nominee other than Hillary to potentially win this. True .. but the real question is whether the voters will go along with whatever plans the Clinton's have
I've seen a couple leftists sites and many posters are ticked about what happen to Dean

Does anyone with an I. Q. larger than their shoe size think Dean, Kerry, the Breck boy or Sharpton would give their votes to Hillary?
-------------------------------
Do you think they will give their votes to each other? Hillary is the only person whose polls show solid approval rating throughout the Democratic party.

Rush played several bits today of Clark belittling and running down Kerry's Vietnam service on
Larry King Embalmed last night. Clark was tossing out such priceless bits as "He (Kerry) was just a lieutenant in the Navy, I was a 4-star general in the Army!"
Say what you will about Kerry's politics and his smarmy patrician demeanor, but the military doesn't hand out Silver Stars for the fun of it. And for a rump-kissing little REMF nutsack like Wesley Clark to demean a man on the basis of a distinguished war record is really beyond the pale.
But I guess we really can't fault Wesley too much - attacking Kerry's war record is not beyond the pale of the Clintons, and of course Clark was merely carrying out the orders they programmed him with. This was meant to draw the new set of battle lines in the struggle for control of the Rat Party - the fight between the Massachusetts and the Arkansas Mafias (the Kennedys and the Clintons).

Do you think they will give their votes to each other? That is what has happened every time there has been a constested convention in the past.
You know nothing about candidates. They are interested in themselves. They want to win. All they all only care about themselves.
Everyone of them is thinking about how they will win the nomination the next time they run!!! Use your brain.
Why did Ronald Reagan stay in the race in 1976 until he lost the vote at the repubican convention? Why didn't he drop out and support Ford in 1976. Reagan knew Ford had the votes. Had Reagan folded before the convention Ford might have won that close race against Jimmy Carter. But then Reagan would not have had as good a chance in 1980. Reagan was interested in REAGAN. He was planning his run in 1980 before the 1976 convention started. If he had not been he would have dropped out and worked his butt off for Jerry Ford.
And you think this years Democatic candidates are more interesteed in their parties victory than Reagan was in 1976.
Man you are naive.

As a Reagan Delegate to the Convention in 1976 I can assure you that Ford did not have the nomination sewed up before the convention. The nomination was very much in play at the convention. Clark Reed's defection from the Reagan camp at the convention gave Ford Mississippi and assured his nomination.

--------------------
And also Rog Morton's refusal to let Reagan speak in prime time worked to throw the convention to Ford.

Hillary would have nothing to negotitate with.

Hillary has financed a pile of people in the Democratic party. She is the most successful fundraiser they have. Mess with her and your money dries up.

''This fight for the Rat nomination is going to be insane.'' OR.....
The RATS fighting for this nomination
are insane.
Each one works for me.

Didn't he also mention Global Crossing as a special interest he's going to kick out of DC (or words to that effect).
I Bet THAT really perked up Terry McAwful's ears!

No, I did hear him say Global Crossing. I did a double-take. As such I bet Lurch is gonna get (or already did) a nasty phone call from McAwful,
''Don't you ever mention GC again, or I'll sic Hitlery on ya. Got it, you French looking mope!

With all due respect, I'd have to 'kind of' agree with Gen. Ashley Wilkes on this matter.
The French looking senator - who served in Vietnam by the way, has been touting his military service as his qualification to be CINC. As such, it's more than appropriate to point out that he was only a stinkin' Lt! If Gen. Jello didn't point that out, Karl Rove sure would have.
In any case, I don't think yesterday's 'win' means much. As i's been reported, except for Jimmah 'Help-I'm-Being-Chased-By-A-Rabbit' Carter, no Iowa 'winner' went on to get the nomination.
We must keep the faith that Dr. Demento will carry-on (pun intended) and his little army of storm-troopers1 will get out the vote in N.H. & S.C. big time.
1 -- Yesterday on NBC or MSNBC's website, the reporter called his followers ''Storm Troopers''.

1 -- Yesterday on NBC or MSNBC's website, the reporter called his followers ''Storm Troopers''.I saw that one myself, and my jaw hit the floor. I don't think anyone (outside MoveOn.org circles anyway) has referred to even President Bush's supporters as "stormtroopers."
I completely agree with you about Kerry pimping his war record as a means of making himself immune to any criticism at all. Still, Clark's remarks on Larry King struck me as a needless cheap shot. Maybe I took it that way just because Clark disgusts and frightens me so much. This is a guy who desperately needs to be kicked back under the rock he crawled out from under, and his military career needs to be studied as an example of why people should be promoted to senior leadership positions on the basis of abilities other than kissing ass.

I heard Worldcom, Enron and Tyco-- I really don't remember him saying GC, and I was listening for it.

I agree his service was great, but there is something a little peculiar about someone running on a war they opposed so strongly. I think Kerry's use of his service in a war that he deemed a "mistake" is really not working for me.
By the way, 30 years ago is a long time. I am much more interested in what he is doing today and what he has done as a Senator to slash and hobble our military and intel services.
Kerry's service is irrelevant to me.

I think Zogby's poll in NH understates (willfully) Edwards appeal. Zogby has gone in the tank for Kerry-- Zogby is only accurate on the eve of the election. Until then, he is committed to shaping opinion and influencing outcomes.
Zogby, we must remember, is an Arabist who wants Bush defeated badly-- early on Zogby pushed dean, now he sees Kerry as the most promising tool to defeat Bush. Kerry (perhaps, because of Vietnam) will not push America's interests and doesn't know and will not push a strategy to keep America strong and safe.

Good.
If I were a Leftist activist, I would want Dean to go third party. If I was strongly antiwar, Kerry (who is indecisve and duplicitous on Iraq) would not get my vote.
