The perfect storm: Hilliary and Edwards 2008. The sheeple have learned to loot to the treasury.Yikes...that could happen.

"Nominate a Clinton like Dem from a southern state"
I'm skeptical... Clinton won because of alot of Economic factors that were extreme one way or the other. He probably wouldn't have won more than 1 or 2 southern states had it not been for Perot splitting the Southern White vote BOTH TIMES Clinton ran.
I'm not saying no dem could ever win a southern state. I was just pointing out that your NJ example could easily be countered by a Georgia example(used to be solid dem, now solid republican). Constituencies change over time, you can always make things sound bad for the republicans if you try hard enough(NY used to vote heavily REPUBLICAN in the 20's, that would never happen today!!!)... in fact the NY times makes an entire publication out of it.

"so the convention will nominate Hillary for the "good of the Party/Country? (yuk)" You guys are strategerilly cunning. But...the Dimocrap party rules are that delegates must vote for the candidate that won them in the primaries, on the first ballot.
By the time the primaries are over Kerry will have a majority of the delegates...after tomorrow (Edwards drops out), Kerry's only opponents in his party will be Conman Sharpton and Commie Kucinich.
Kerry has the nomination...Billary is out for 5 years at least. But don't forget, Gore got 350,000 more votes in NY than Billary got and he lost...I wouldn't consider Billary a juggernaut, rather I would say a media frenzy with a pityful fizzle in the end.

Maybe you should team up with O.S.Card and write alternative historical fiction books. :-)

Putting Guliani into play as VP also sets him up for 2008, don't you think? He is VERY popular with the whole country since 9/11, They do not call us the stupid party for nothing! You loose your Christian conservative base, as happens in every election we put up liberal pro-choice Republicans, and when they sit at home like they always do when you give them this option, you give the democrats a lot of seats freely that election. But hey, you might win NY and California. No thank you.
Let him run for the Senate in NY otherwise you do great damage to the whole party.

Clinton won the first time with about 43% of the vote. Thank you, Ross Perot.

To: finnman69
Morris has as many opinions as Kerry has positions on issues. I think Morris speaks without regard to consistency but principally he seeks to be hot news today--whenever today is. "slit their throats" sounds racy and he hopes attention will follow.
To: Positive
The Dimocrap party rules are that delegates must vote for the candidate that won them in the primaries, on the first ballot.If John Kerry crashes and burns, he will resign the nomination, and Hillary could be brokered.
To: uncbob
Hannity promotes Morris because he will say things about Clinton that appear to come from the inside. I am not sure Sean really knows what he is dealing with.

"the DemocRATS slit their throats tonight."
It was a dirty job, but someone had to do it.
To: exit82
If Hillary is VP to anyone, that person better watch their back. Hillary aspires to greater things.
Long live Queen Hillary!

"If John Kerry crashes and burns, he will resign the nomination, and Hillary could be brokered"Exactly. And we are not talking about a plane crash here. We are talking about the polls. The Dems will realize that Kerry has no chance once W unleashes 150 mill in advertising.
It will be panic time at the Dem conventiion. This should be good, real good. Kerry will submit to being the VP behind a bigger ass.

(Look out for Hillary at the convention. If the dems think Kerry can't win, the witch will fly.)
To: AGreatPer
the media will keep the polls close regardless of reality. look at Zogby's practices, what happened in the FL governors race, etc. The media uses their polls to try and shape the desired outcome they want. You will not see any major national media polls showing Kerry far behind. at the very end, the last two days before the election, they will frantically issue "corrective" polls if indeed Bush is headed towards victory.
To: AGreatPer
Hmm. Let's say the combination of 1. Kerry dirt, and 2. Bush defining Kerry as McGovern reincarnated devastates the Kerry campaign. As we have just speculated, Kerry resigns, Hillary wins a brokered convention (I actually have no idea how brokering works. However, I press on). I don't see Kerry being the VP candidate after being disgraced. Edwards?
To: NutCrackerBoy
"Committed Democrats of nearly every stripe solidly hate Bush. But that does not account for 50%." "Committed" Democrats are driven by "hate Bush". And precious little else. In total, they amount to maybe a third of the country. Uncommitted Democrats and Independents don't hate Bush and, indeed, are a little put-off by the left's histrionics and hate-mongering.
The historically low turnouts in the Democrat primaries since Iowa and New Hampshire strongly suggest that Kerry's support is exceedingly thin. He's been hard-pressed to capture even a slight majority of a light turnout, remember. It was Dean that created excitement for the Democrats and brought new voters into the party. But, now, they have left the building.
In the end, Bush's GOP supporters will show up at the polls. The middle will lean heavily toward Bush. And many of Kerry's Democrats will stay home, thoroughly disspirited by the candidate they perceived as "electable" -- only to discover he was anything but.
It could be a big win.

"If John Kerry crashes and burns, he will resign the nomination, and Hillary could be brokered." OK, so I have two questions:
1) What do you mean by "resign the nomination"
2) How can he "crash and burn" when he is virtually unopposed for the nomination.
To: doug from upland
Clinton won the first time with about 43% of the vote. Thank you, Ross Perot. It's important for all of us to remember that no Democrat nominee for President has received over 50% of the popular vote since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
It's not going to happen in 2004, either.

There are two types of compassion: Conservative and liberal. Conservative means to reduce red-tape and allow those willing a chance to get on their feet through hard work.
Liberal means to remove all barriers, give low interest government sponsored loans, and tilt the 'playing field' in favor of those who'd have a difficult time convincing a bank of their credit-worthiness. Boy, that sounds like an economy/party I'd like to be invited to. Not.
