I thought that was the plan all along, and who do you think they will bring in to save the party?

I foresee a coup by Madame Evita Hillary Rodhamista.
(Don't cry for me, Palestine-a)

I foresee a "sudden health crisis " for Senator Kerry-("ouch my prostate is acting up- wait, I don't HAVE a prostate...")

The DNC's very own bride of Frankenstein will be blushingly and reluctantly drafted by popular acclaim, of course.

Unforunately (for them!) the Torcelli option is not viable on the national stage. It would destroy the party.

If they blatantly pulled Kerry in favor of a more moderate candidate, they would give 20% of the vote to Nader. If they pulled him in favor of a more left-wing candidate, they'd give 10% of the vote to Bush.

Not only that, there are no longer any adults in cahrge of the Democratic Party who would have the authority to do this.

My fellow freepers seem to think it will be she whose name must not be named but I don't see how that happens if the delegates are committed to Kerry. He would have to back out on his own and I don't see him doing it. I don't think they can just call for an open convention- that's what the primaries were supposed to be all about. I sincerely hope I'm not wrong about this.

I doubt Hillary will stand anywhere near the nomination platform in Boston this year. There is a good chance that no one will beat Bush this year. Any Democrat would come close - we are a divided country. But Hillary wants a little more of a sure thing.

I think she'll be happy to let Kerry flameout. He won't drop below 47% in the final vote in my opinion anyway, no matter what he does.

Who do they have other than hillary? And this is perfect for her. She couldn't survive a primary, and this way, Pres. Bush would have to be the "heavy" picking on "the girl".
It's her best chance. And with billy on his book tour at the same time, she'll get far more press time than Bush will.
