Hope you are right.

We'll all see,come November..or sooner.:-)

[Tymesup]

I'll let your last response to my specific questions speak for itself, then.

[nopardons]

Look,I am more than weary of writing refutations to your lot of tinfoil wearing,oh isn't it fun to scare ourselves,THE SKY IS FALLING naifs.Take my last post however you care to.But,when the Dems'convention is over,and it's Kerry,you best stay outta my way here.;^)

[nathanbedford]

You are absolutely right, to maintain that a brokered or an open convention is a realistic possibility betrays gross ignorance of the mechanics of the modern nominating process.

Worse, there is every possibility that Kerry, far from the feckless candidate these posters assume he is, will in fact win a modest to a decisive victory.

Take a look at Dales report out this morning.

Tsk. Tsk. No sense of humor. Listen to Rush some more please. The Rapist is the chief "wire-puller" of the Democrat party today .... and its not about the party, its all about HIM (and HER, of course).

[Al Simmons]

Read my post above. The Rapist may well try to muscle/blackmail/influence Kerry to put the Hildabeaste on the ticket as VP - then Kerry crashes and burns in November, while she gets a leg up on 2008. The only question is does he have enough on Kerry to pull it off.

Being on the ticket in '04 is a win-win scenario for Hitlary - while it would almost certainly be the final nail in Kerry's coffin, losing him a bunch of marginally blue states from '00.

One of my thoughts on Hillary! running in 2004 is whether she really wants to inherit the war in Iraq and the War On Terror. If she really wants to build up socialism, is the way to do it in a 50/50 country to declare defeat by insurgents in Iraq, bring home the world's most feared military, and divert the military funding (again) to social programs?

Or, would she rather wait until 2008 and hope that either: 1) the war goes well and the people weary of Bush and Republicans, or 2) the war goes poorly and the people weary of Bush and Republican?

If she does run in 2004 and wins, then she will have to do something about Iraq and Afghanistan. If she waits, then it's Bush's problem to deal with.

Well,well,someone who actually gets it. :-)

And we must not be complacent,nor filled with panic! We needs must be vigilant and do everything possible to get President Bush re-elected!

[nopardons]

I have a perfectly good sense of humor,know more about politics than that feckless,egotistical blowhard,Rush,any day of the week and 1,000 times on Sunday.

If you think that Clinton is running the show,at the DNC,even with MacAwful there,then you,dear sir,haven't a scintilla of an idea what's what and don't know anything at all about politics or reality.

[nopardons]

You may be a self-proclaimed Bushbot,but you have less than ZERO understanding of anything pertaining to politics!

If...and it's almost a dead certain impossibility,Hitlery! is on the '04 Dem ticket,in any capacity, and they lose,it's all over for her;the end,over,done,finished,kaput,in regards to any future presidential election.

I see. That is, I see now that you - like my Bush-hating Fullbright scholar cousin-in-law down in L.A. - dwell in a parallel universe.

So sorry to have wasted your time (and mine) trying to have a rational conversation.

Errr...you ever heard of WALTER MONDALE? Or Dick Nixon?(Hint: Look up elections of 1960, 1968, 1980, and then 1984).

You're welcome.

[nopardons]

Now,you're on to something!

No,Hillary does NOT want to inherit Iraq,nor the WoT! That's exactly WHY she will NOT run,in any capacity,in '04! Her entire gambit is to inflict Socialism/social engineering on America,which she can NOT do,with an overt war raging and terrorism so out in the open.She doesn't need or want another pull-out,making the USA look weak,a la Nam.

She may be evil,she may be an enabler,she may be a Marxist,but unlike so many on FR,she isn't a political naif! And,lest anyone forget,this is a woman who won't touch anything,unless she is guaranteed to win/profit.There is NO guarantee in '04.

[nopardons]

I KNEW Richard Nixon.I was a Nixon girl and worked on his campaigns;just not the one in '60.I went to his inaugural balls.Hillary is NO Dick Nixon.

I know all about Mondale.The point being?

Don't come to a gun fight armed with a toothpick.I've been involved,in one way or another,in politics,all of my life.

But do keep on trying to get it,pet;someday it'll all make sense to you.;^)

Geraldine Ferraro? Try that one on for size.:-)

[Political Junkie Too]

There is NO guarantee in '04.

And even if there were, there is no guarantee that she will be able to achieve what she wants to accomplish, given the current state of affairs.

[nopardons]

She couldn't and that's the sticking point. :-)

[nopardons]

I,I live in a parallel universe? ROTFLMSO

Your moron of a cousin and I have absolutely NOTHING whatsoever in common. OTOH,you and your benighted cousin appear to share more than just genes.;^)

[Squantos]

Good grief that Big Itch Skank looks filthy, dirty and nasty........take a dang bath woman !

[Al Simmons]

"Your moron of a cousin and I have absolutely NOTHING whatsoever in common. OTOH,you and your benighted cousin appear to share more than just genes.;^)"

Gee, if you re-read my earlier post CAREFULLY, you will see the words "cousin-in-law". No genetic similarity there at all.

Secondly, you certainly do not discourse politely like a lady of a certain age should.

Mom told me never to pick a fight with a girl. ;0)

At least we agree on who to vote for!!
