I disagree. The Commies may be evil, but they're not stupid. They know that this election is lost as far as the Presidency is concerned. Hilliary doesn't want to run against an incumbent Republican president during wartime.

No, they'll let (read 'engineer') Kerry go down in flames. She doesn't want to go up against 'incumbent advantage'. She'll hit us next time, in '08. If Kerry wins, then the party will pretty much have to support him for re-election in '08. He's a dud, and the party bigs are pragmatic, if nothing else. She doesn't want to wait until 2012 for a shot at the White House. There is a train of thought on FR that suggests that the Clintons are behind a lot of the damaging stuff that is coming out about Kerry. I think they're right.

If Kerry wins, then the party will pretty much have to support him for re-election in '08.

You are assuming he would survive until 2008.
With HRC behind me, I wouldn't bet on that.
