Then Hillary will make her grand entrance. With Mr. McAuliffe smiling from the podium her power will be vast. Possibly she will allow herself to be nominated to the No. 2 spot to assist her party in its moment of peril.

Hillary wants to be President, not Vice President.

How is this a problem? If she takes the veep spot, one of three things happens:

1. They lose, and she gains nothing but a boost to her resume.

2. They win. She waits her turn, and runs 8 years later, win or lose the second term, it won't really hurt her.

3. They win. She decides she can't wait that long and has her new friend asassinated.

Sounds like a winner to me.



I don't see the problem here.

But Vice President is a better platform to launch than Senator. And after all, something could always happen to the president. (I don't mean that in a sarcastic way - after all, Bill Clinton could have stepped down, leaving Gore president.)

Couldn't dirt suddenly show up on the current Dem president, leaving the vice pres (Hillary) to step into that space?

If she gts to be VP she will be POTUS within 30 days of inauguration.

"Hillary wants to be President, not Vice President."

Well, no question; more to the point, she plans to be President.

Bit going in as a VP has some real advantages; she can just 'step up' to the power podium when a 'fate' takes over the President.

I cannot imagine any Dem candidate seriously wanting her as a VP, hovering just a step away from the Oval Office. And she will rule with or without that acting president.

But probably there will be little 'choice' in the matter.

[libstripper]

Agreed. Equally important, the ticket will clearly be a Marxist ticket with both Hillary and Kerry, and have no chance of winning. Kerry will have to get a more moderate appearing running mate.
