If so, we'd better hope there's enough incriminating evidence there to keep Hillary off the ticket. OTOH, maybe she would be the best one to be on the ticket. Perhaps they'll anoint Edwards.

I'd like to see her run - it would really polarize and energize things - and I think we'd finally be rid of her as a political force.

You very well may be right. I would just love it if this brings down a whole lot of Dems.

If Kerry did drop out,

1. would Edwards get the top spot? If so, his lack of experience would be highly questioned. He seeming incapability to deliver his own home state would also. And I don't see an Edwards (first term Senator, no previous elective office)-HClinton (first term Senator, no previous elective office) as a powerful union.

2. unless the polls have GWB at below 45% approval, I don't see Hillary trying for the top spot---too many questions on the campaign trail. Of course, for her Senate run, the media were complicit. Much of the media would be for her Presidential run, too.

Edwards-HClinton would be an experientially weak ticket.
