What he's saying is that the Clintons are running the show and they are going to torpedo Kerry's campaign. Why this should be so isn't stated, but it's pretty obvious that Hillary Clinton doesn't want to wait 8 or 12 years, or even longer, to be president. So either she runs in '08 or Kerry comes apart and she runs this year. I think she runs in '08. That's the most rational course of action for her and the one most likely to succeed.

However, Kerry must lose this year for that to happen.

Does this mean if Bush wins it is because the Clintons made it happen? I do not buy it. Sometimes I think we give them way too much credit. Bush can beat Kerry without the help of the Clintons. I would hate to see it spun this way the day after the election.

I think she runs in '08.

How does she get past running against Guilianni for NY Senate in '06 if she doesn't run in '04?

I think that the Clintons will support Kerry just enough to keep their fragile coalition of special interest groups together but will stop short of a full court press, complete with voter fraud. That part is going to be a little tricky to accomplish because it will necessitate controlling the grass roots party activists. So, look for Hillary to make many, many campaign stops, urging a close watch for voter fraud.

The only problem with Hill running in '08 (other than the obvious, that she's loathed from sea to shining sea), is that face in the mirror. She'll be older, fatter, and it'll be harder for a face lift to look normal and botox to do the job. '08 is her last chance, and if she has to run for her senate seat in '06 against Guiliani, she might well lose. Then she has no political base. If she could pry Kerry loose from the nomination somehow, or be on the ticket as vp, then maybe he has a tragic accident with a tree on some Aspen ski slope, well, she'd be at the top of the ticket and maybe get sympathy votes. She didn't go to Iraq around Thanksgiving to support the troops, guys. Hill has a plan.
