As many of you know, I have over the past four years occasionally chronicled the Clintons, from the perspective of what one hears and observes from Beautiful Downtown Chappaqua. Many Freepers have told me how much they enjoy my commentaries. I've ignored the rumors, the innuendos, the "tin-foil hat" theories. Indeed, there are many more very interesting details that I have deliberately chosen NOT to share with all of you. What I'm going to discuss now is admitted speculation on my part, but based upon a few conversations I've had in the last few days..and you'll have to trust my instincts on my sources..OK..here goes..
Ken, clever piece though it's hard to see it. Hillary! wouldn't just lose, it would be a Bush landslide.
There's just NO WAY the electorate - that we do often refer to as the 'sheeple' - would consider electing an untested, People Magazine politician as Commander-in-Chief during the WOT.
And especially not if thrust upon the country a few weeks before election day. Let's see, how could it go?
"The Presidential Debate Committee anounces a change in tonight's Presiential Debators. Complications arising from Senator Kerry's old war wounds regretfully have forced him to withdraw from the 2004 Presidential race. Senator Kerry has been advised to take an extended vacation of biking, windsurfing and tossing the football with John Edwards. The Committee, on behalf of the public, wishes Senator Kerry a rejuvinating holiday.
In this time of need, the former First Lady, Senator Hillary! Rodham Clinton, has, for the good of the children, gamely agreed to come to the aid of the country and represent her party before the American people.
Even though a standing appointment at the spa and makeover salon could not be rescheduled and Senator Clinton will only have an hour and fifteen minutes to prepare for tonight's Debate we are confident Senator Clinton will acquit herself well before the American public.
Senator Clinton has assured the Committee she will select her Vice-Presidential significant other by the afternoon of the scheduled Vice-Presidential Debates, if she doesn't cancel it.
We are so proud of the First Lady for this selfless sacrifce. We suggest that the Debate moderator and tonight's media representatives be mindful of the position of highest respect that Senator Clinton has held, and continues to hold, in the country and the hearts of the American people.
Thank you, Senator Clinton."
Hmmm - having read this press release, it just might work.
The election laws of the 50 states and D.C. are my playground. All of them contain deadlines, many of which have already passed for the election of 2004. In my judgment, based on those deadlines, the only way that Kerry could legally be replaced on ALL 51 ballots would be if he DIED.
Run up another conspiracy if you choose concerning the death of Kerry. But this dog won't hunt.

Who's going to take Kerry out and shoot him? He's not just gioing to lay down.
---A good part of the nation would be up in arms---
Literally!
there will be a third party candidate in 2008 to enable hillary to win
With Hillary in the race, I would find a legal way to raise my bet by 10X.
As a ball-biter, it doesn't matter how fat or ugly she is... She will be anybody but _____ (fill in the blank).
Well stated Zulu -- thanks for the feedback.
She is a monster and a Marxist.
Two very bad things.
Hillary filed in Feb. She's ready if she needs to be.
We've discussed it a couple of times on other threads.
They don't have enough time no matter how much money they can or cannot get a hold of. Not going to happen.
You really think the American people would be up in arms about this? Most of them could care less, would fall for whatever story the media gave them, and run out to vote for this evil woman! Propaganda is on their side.
PS. I love your insider reports!
The key to all this is that when you vote for a presidential candidate's name on the ballot, you're actually voting for electors pledged to the ticket of that candidate's party. I think that makes a difference. Please scan the complete thread for posts by both myself and FReeper Cboldt. I think the two of us have hit on something.
Have you ever had the feeling, that Kerry has known all along, he wasn't really running for President?
For some stupid reason, I have.
I still refuse to beleive that hrc is electable on a national level. She is at home in her liberal haven, but the fact remains that most intelligent white men can't stand to even look at the witch. Thats a huge demographic that doesn't need to see her open her mouth to say. Nope. Not gonna happen. I just dont think she plays well in Peoria, or anyplace else in flyover country USofA.
And let people ramp up for a day, and all the anti-hrc stuff will come down like a huge mountain of crap...all headed straight for her huge, pant-suited @$$.
And then, even though she would have a built-in excuse, she's got the stench of defeat, (to go along with the klinton stench) and people won't forget that
One word: Electors. (From the Electoral College as opposed to the electorate) They can, have, and will continue to vote for anybody they want to and/or in this case who their party tells them to.
And to make it clear, the replacement options have been used in most states. (They are usually used when an Elector fails to get to the Capitol on time.) The leader of the delegation, which is pledged to a single candidate, can send someone into the hall, grab the first person they see, swear them in, and have them vote.
The only way that pledged Electors are freed is if their candidate resigns from the race after the election, or dies. Only death has applied. Horace Greeley died after the election and his Electors voted all over the map. Fortunately he was the losing candidate.
Trust me, I know these things.
