There was no way in the world that he would have "stepped down" from the nomination when he had it all sewn up. Not a chance.


I am not so sure of that as you are, but even if Kerry was/is not in on the fix, what would it take to force him out? I for one think that if the New York Times, and ABCBSNBC thought Hillary would have a chance, they would begin playing up 24/7 all of the negatives against Kerry and he would be forced out.

Not out of the realm of possibility. If you were paying close attention at the time, the Mainstream Media turned on Dean big-time almost exactly two weeks before the Yeeaaghh! moment.

Nobody can "force him out." This is a fallacy. He was nominated to be the Democrat Presidential candidate. Period. There is no mechanism for removing him from the ticket. The only way to do that would be to have 50 states re-write their election laws, the democrat party suspend their rules, and hold another convention. It is not going to happen.

I really wish that people would quit dragging out this utterly ridiculous idea of Hillary being the candidate in 2004. She isn't. Kerry is. Period.

Oh, wait, there is another way: If the clintons assasinate Kerry and Edwards, then the dem party would have to put somebody else in the position. That is, of course, equally ridiculous.
