Hillary Clinton Endorses Kerry

My guess now is that Hillary will end up being the VP with Kerry. If she does, Bush will have a very hard time winning, I am afraid.

[GigaDittos]

Is this suppose to be news?

Figures Hillary! would endorse a guy who can commit numerous atrocities like raping, pilliaging and burning villiages (from a boat) within a four month period. Just imagine how many Wacos and Ruby Ridges he could pull off in four YEARS.

[cake_crumb]

Well...third time's the charm as they say. Besides, she can't go wrong this time by endorsing the guy who's already a lock for the nomination AFTER he locks it up.

Another example of the brilliance of the Smartest Woman in the World ®

....Which isn't saying much in a Democrat primary

"Screeching, scratching Democrats attacking Bush every day, and Kerry in our faces ad nauseum"

....And the next 8 months are going to be even worse

[mewzilla]

A hard time? Nah. Hill couldn't get re-elected in NYS now. And if we've had it with her...

Something that keeps going through my mind is the ever present "John Kerry was in Vietnam" angle. Given that this seems to be a key element of his platform (to say the least) doesn't it follow that his VP will be scrutinized on this issue? If he chooses someone who, as he so quaintly put it, "chose another path," does that negate the effect he is trying to wring out of his Vietnam service? Specifically, if he chooses Hillary Clinton, proud wife of the draft dodger, does that mean Vietnam isn't that important after all? And how can he then go around complaining about the mean Republicans "who didn't go to Vietnam" when he has Hillary Clinton on as VP? I guess she would play the "I would have gone" card, maybe even give ole Bill the occasional rhetorical smack down (now that he has been marginalized) and leave it at that. Still....

I'd like to pull the covers over my head and sleep through the whole thing. Wake up November 8 to President GWB part deux.

"Specifically, if he chooses Hillary Clinton, proud wife of the draft dodger, does that mean Vietnam isn't that important after all?"

I believe the comparison to Kerry's constant drumming of the Vietnam War Hero drum, in conjunction with his repeated insistance that he, himself, committed a whole slew of war crimes in 4 months to the carnage the Clinton administration caused is important, whether he chooses Hillary or not. It's a form of hedging our political bets, IMO.

Honestly, I don't see how he could choose Hillary! at all, since he voted for military action in Iraq and so did Hillary!, but Hanoi John has flip-flopped and says he's always been against military action in Iraq, while Hillary! hasn't. Though she did tell the the troops their country doesn't support them and they're all gonna die over there for nothing during her Thanksgiving photo-op, Hanoi Jane-style trip to Afghanistan and Iraq last year.

She even ticked off her own base....though no doubt they forgot and forgave her for it by now.

Hillary spent a lot of time restyling her packaging to appear to be a moderate who believes in strong defense. She can't afford to move (in public) back to the rabid left with Kerry without destroying her political career. Kerry's been pandering to the anti-war crowd by beating the Vietnam drum and will lose those votes if he nominates Hillary.

Talk about painting yourself into a corner.

IMO, he'll go for Clark, or perhaps the trial lawyer....though if he asked his significant other, John McCain, to switch parties and run with him, McCain would probably do it.

I'm sure we all would, but we need President Bush to win another term too badly to bow to temptation. Besides, this is the chance for all of the people hurt by Kerry for the past 30 years to discredit him. And hopefully, destroy his career.

[bluejean]

Kerry may not have long to live. Getting 'blessed' by Hillary is a blessing from the devil incarnate.

[BARLF]

So I hope that next year we will have a Democrat in the White House

Yeah Hillary,but which democrat are you talking about?

[BARLF]

I believe this is exactly what will happen. It has to be at the convention.I have no idea how this can be achieved.

I wish you wise Freepers would discuss this idea.

He can just say his Cancer has returned.

I thought I remembered him having had cancer. It would be perfect for Hillary to be his running mate. If by some quirk, he won and he died while in office, she could become the President without having to actually run for it.

Slap....Slap....Slap...Wake up Gooleyman....You're having a nightmare!!! Whew!!! Thanks!!

[Iberian]

THUNDER THIGHS of course.

[joesnuffy]

someone ought to start a pool....if she becomes his VP and he gets elected....
How long tills she's default prez

[unspun]

"...she told Japan's Nippon Television Network Corporation."

More evidence that Mrs. Clinton is running for President of the World.

Slight problem with Bill on that ticket; it seems the last sentence of the 12th Amendment ("But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.")

Nothing that a trip to the Ninth Circuit won't fix. They're pretty creative that way.
