"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.

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.

Problem is, there is no way to enforce those rules. "Loyal" Dims would break them the moment their hero (Hillary) or Party bosses asked them to.
The Courts have a long-standing policy and tradition of refusing to get into intra-party squabbles.
Bottom line is: If for some reason Party bosses see Kerry as unelectable and they want Hillary, they will get her.
