I don't know why I was ever worried about JFK. Yes I know anything could happen between now and Nov. but it looks like Bush in a landslide come this fall--"and that aint bad."

I wonder exactly how much hate mail Kerry's campaign gets.
To: John Thornton
How firmly committed are his delegates? Delegates selected in Primary elections and caucuses are required by law to vote for their candidate on the first ballot. If no candidate wins on the first ballot, then they can do as they please.
Many delegates serve many times for several different candidates. A Delegate that did not do what his candidate told him or her to do on any second or third ballots, would never be a delegate again. If they were a local offical in the Democratic party .. .they would have used to have been a party official.
Even if a delegate switched to hillary and she won it is very unlikely that person would be a Hillary Delgate in 2008. If you would double cross JFing K you would double cross Hillary. Breaking ranks gets a delegate nothing but trouble.
But in any event Kerry has enough delegates won in the primaries to win on the first ballot.
Kerry is the very dertermined and very nasty person. If you think he would drop out to give it to Hillary, you no doubt thought that Teddy Kennedy would rush to supprt Jimmy Carter after Carter easily defeated Kennedy in the 1980 primaries.
If you think Kennedy would let Kerry drop out for Hillary you have been smoking the good stuff.
Remember Bill Clinton was in third Place behind both Bush (in first) and Perot (in second) in June of 1992. There is no way that Kerry will drop out.

Hey, Rush and I have been saying this some time now. If the Dem-o-rats can Kerry, you can bet that Bill and the powers that be in the party will see to it that Hillary will graciously step forward, "reluctantly" accept the nomination and save the party. Hey, it could happen.

"There is no way that Kerry will drop out."
I'll bet the Clintons have the goods on him. Perhaps something that would send him to jail. Certainly something that would lose him the election and cause him never-ending embarrassment, and maybe, if it's the right kind of thing, even end his gravy-train marriage. If the Clintons want him to step down, I'm guessing they can be very persuasive.

Will Kerry ask to go home after taking fire for 3 1/2 months?

I'm sure he gets his fair share, But I'm sure GWB gets 10 times more.
The level of hatred from the left is unbelievable, and the mainstream media no longer even tries to be impartial

Thank you, Congressman Billybob. Many of us were wondering about that.

I was under the impression that all the delegates were required to vote for their candidate on the first ballot. If I was wrong about that, I stand corrected. And if I'm wrong about that, it changes everything, of course.
The only problem for the RATS is how bad will they look if they dump the voters choice (the voters in all those primaries) simply based on pre-election sample polling data?
Such a move would make the RATS look pretty bad. Pretty, pretty bad.

And even if I'm wrong about whether or not the delegates are legally bound to vote for Kerry on the first ballot, I still maintain what I said: JFnK will not bow out gracefully. He'll be one angry, cornered RAT if the other RATS take this from him.
