I just love this...when the Villiage Voice (of all media) starts dissn' the Presumptive Democratic Nominee for President!!! Sorry, if this was posted earlier...still, it is worth another viewing

Enter her heinous, Hillary. May happen.

My theory is that Kerry might be asked to claim that his prostate cancer has recurred and that he therefore needs to drop out of the race. I doubt he would ever do it, however. The guy has been running for president since eighth grade.

How firmly committed are his delegates?

Maybe my hopes for Al Sharpton are NOT dead...

The Clintonoids will DESTROY Kerry.

There's no way JFnK's stepping down gracefully. He's got all those delegates committed to him on the first ballot. That's enough for him to win, on the first ballot.

All other speculation is mere speculative fantasy.

Let's not leave Albore out of the equation. However my bet would be on Hillary. Parley

If things proceed as they are, the dim-bulb Dem leaders are going to be very sorry they screwed Howard Dean.

Don't tell me Howard has syphilis?

I'm so glad you posted this. I was going to put it up. I hope they don't listen to him, but I think he's correct in his assessment. I heard some Boston Globe reporters on NPR today and for balance I must say that they said this is a typical Kerry campaign and he's known as a great "closer". I'm not sure that's enough to cut it at the presidential level. A lot of folks can't even name their senators, everybody can name the president.

This should be emailed to the Kerry Campaign, I think I'll do the honors :-)

Well, the columnist is clearly clueless about how the
Democratic Party works, but if the VV allowed this story
to run, that is significant. VV is probably not a 1st-tier
recipient of DNC Talking Points FAXes, but they are an
indicator of the sentiment in a particular Dem market
segment.

Now the prevailing theory is:
* If a Dem can't beat Bush in 2004, any Designated Loser
will do.
* If it is seen as possible for a Dem to beat Bush, the
candidate will be Hillary (by hook or by crook).

JfK is a perfectly adequate D.L., and we can be sure that
the Clintons can guarantee that he'll lose (FBI files, etc.)
I'd rather JfK implode on 02 Nov., but increasingly, it
looks like he may be too embarassing altogether, and that
regardless of what the Clintons want, the rank&file may want
him gone.

He's already been offered a medical deferment (prostate).

Remember, lib papers rarely publish news. They mostly
send messages.

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."

Howard Dean screwed himself!
