The Torricelli Option: Will Dems dump Kerry?

There is palpable fear among Democrats as they contemplate their presumptive nominee, John Kerry, the candidate who couldn't keep his lies straight.
Kerry followed a week made disastrous by his military records fiasco with a Monday morning performance with Charlie Gibson of ABC's Good Morning America that will live in TV history alongside the 1980 Roger Mudd-Teddy Kennedy exchange through which it dawned on America that a senator in search of a verb wasn't really equipped to be a president.
Gibson's refusal to be deflected by Kerry's rambling incoherence led to a post-interview denunciation of ABC by Kerry. "They are doing the work of the Republican National Committee," Kerry muttered. Yeah, that's the ticket. Jennings et al., are working for the GOP which is working for Fox News' Roger Ailes who is, of course, working for Halliburton. Hillary's vast, right-wing conspiracy just got vaster. Like the Borg, the VRWC has absorbed Disney-owned ABC. Who knew?
There are powers in the Democratic Party, and they cannot be pleased. Tom Daschle, for one, has got to be thinking through the impact of a presidential contest that is over once the polls close at 6 in the East. That sort of wave in 1980 took out George McGovern and a lot of famous liberals just like Daschle.
Streisand's got to be worried as well. She knows what happens when the movie tanks in the first 10 minutes. People return her phone calls, even though she doesn't make any sense at all. Rob Reiner knows a thing or two about stiffs as well. Remember 1994's "North"? Neither does anyone else. Reiner knows that hopes and dreams do not a success make.
And the Clintons-in-Exile, they must hear the music. Forget their ethics and policies, they have a well-deserved reputation for perfect pitch when it comes to politics. Imagine Bill and Hill watching Kerry strangle himself. How they must laugh ... then cry. Hillary gets the nod in 2008, but what will be left after the wipeout?
Another movie analogy: Jim Carrey in the bathroom scene from "Liar, Liar" when he tries to injure himself. That's John Kerry over the past six weeks, throwing himself against walls in front of the national TV audience with the effect of inflicting maximum damage on himself.
It has worked.
Too well, I am afraid. Dems know he's a loser. But can anything be done?
Who knows? Don't bother looking up the rules governing nominations. There were rules in Florida, and the Florida Supreme Court tore those up when Gore needed help. There were rules in New Jersey, but when Torricelli flamed, the New Jersey Supreme Court tossed those aside. There were rules in California, and three judges ordered a halt to the recall that only went forward because the luck of an en banc draw brought sanity to the review panel.
No, the rules won't stop Kerry's recall. Only Teddy can, and the weight of the senior senator from Massachusetts shouldn't be underestimated. The Kerry campaign is his last hurrah, and the convention's in Boston, for goodness sake. What kind of a reception would follow a party that tossed Kerry onto the tracks?
Does Daschle care? Does Patty Murray? Barbara Boxer? Any of a half-dozen endangered Dem incumbents in the Senate and a score in the House? So the receiving committee is a littlie frosty and Teddy dumps them from the Christmas card list – they'll still have jobs.
And Dean – what's he thinking when he can get the voices to quiet down? He was robbed, you know ... by the same people now conspiring against Kerry. Dean doesn't forget, and there's not enough Ambien in America to get him a night's sleep. What if, with another yell, he decides to demand an open convention. "Let the delegates vote!" isn't a bad slogan. Bring back all the orange hats and the blog and all that. Quite a party could be had by all.
Bill Clinton just announced the publication date of his new memoir: Late June. How unfortunate for Kerry – Bill has to do a book tour for the month running up to the convention, sucking the air right out of an already spent balloon. Sorry, couldn't be avoided. Publisher deadlines and all.
So as Kerry melts away, there – on every television screen in the land – will be Saturday Night Bill, playing his sax, blowing his own horn, saying stuff. All sorts of stuff. Looking incredibly large, opposite the incredibly small Kerry.
Tick, tick, tick. The Torricelli Option. Coming to theaters near you this summer.
Hillary has a huge "hidden" vote, and she absolutely can win.
You drastically overestimate how much women like Hitlery. Here's a real life hard stat that says it all:
Since 1993 when Hitlery came on stage, the name Hillery has plummeted in popularity. PLUMMETTED! The group that tracks things like this says "They have never seen a name fall so fast and hard from the top 1000."
Now Jim, if women are so much in love with Hitlery, how come so many of them have avoided naming their babies after her? It's because a very significant number of them DON'T LIKE HER.
"My Struggle" was apparently already taken...
I respectfully beg to differ. It was Republican's hatred of George H.W. Bush for going back on his "Read My Lips" pledge that gave rise to the Ross Perot campaign which netted the country bill clinton.
This comment is really funny; I was laughing hard.

My take as well. If he is, McAuliffe shorts his campaign (he's already at it) and She Who Must Not Be Named runs in '08 according to schedule, with a giant war chest and no incumbent to face.
I could be wrong, of course, but my sense is that with Bush still carrying 50% after months of negativity and actually rising, she'll back off and bide her time. Were he at 40% or less and obviously failing in Iraq it would be different, but the Clintons play the odds and right now they're in W's favor. But there's a long way to go yet, and if the Dems do succeed in finding or manufacturing a W scandal that actually does stick, things might change, and that's what they're desperately hoping for at the moment. And - I truly hate to say this but I'm beginning to be convinced - they're also desperately hoping for a lot of dead soldiers in Iraq.
By Monday of next week, there will be no mistaking thats what their next mode of attack will be. Starting off with Ted Koppel reading the names of the US casualties on Friday's edition of Nightline for an entire 30 minutes, CBS plans to do something similar shortly thereafter during the weekend news cycle this coming weekend. Personally, I'm already convinced they're ginning up for that phase now.
LMAO...
The botox seeping out of his lacerations...
I certainly hope so. There's no way on earth the Hildebeast would win an honest election! None!
Well, that's putting it mildly! :-)
Just like all these Pennsylvania voters who are going to protest the loss of Toomey in November by writing in Toomey's name on the ballot, even though Toomey is going to strongly support Bush. Or the protest voters who are going to vote for Tancredo of Colorado because they have one bone to pick with President Bush, meanwhile, Tancredo is going to strongly support President Bush because he's like all the rest of the real Conservatives out there, who cannot fathom a John Kerry in the White House, when this country is fighting the War On Terror.
Now, this business of "no new taxes" is bogus, and a lame attempt to explain away those votes, when you stop and think about it. Voting for Perot again in '96 ushered in the largest tax increase in this nations history, because protest voters allowed Bill Clinton four more years, who narrowly won over Bob Dole. Yeah, "no new taxes". Had more of those protest voters stuck with Bob Dole, a principled Conservative, Bob Dole wouldn't have lost by such a hairthin margin. Protest voters aren't principled Conservatives, they're protest voters.
There's no fairness in politics. When Clinton/Edwards ticket blasts off on September 15, 2004, it will be surreal. The sheer momentum surge - Hillary the STAR! ... going against the slow, dim-witted Republicans who must shift all the campaigning gears.
There was evidence of that here in Colorado a couple of weeks ago. At the Democrat caucus, Kerry managed to get 61% of the vote. Since this was after he already had the nomination sewn up, that means 39% of the voters preferred either someone who wasn't running at all or at least wasn't running as a Democrat.
Now we've got Hillary out there like she's campaigning for President, trying to steal photo-op's from John Kerry, who's a dullard to begin with anyway, contradicts himself, and slinks off silently to some ski chalet or gets primped up for thousands of dollars every 2 weeks, looking like he's trying to be some 30 year old with gray hair. It's laughable.
