The message from Kerry is clear: Back off, Clintonistas. The party is MINE.

I disagree. The Clintons showed they still own the Party shortly after Kerry locked up the nomination.

Kerry, early in the primaries, stated his first action as party nominee would be to replace McAuliffe. The Clintons stopped that and McAuliffe stayed on. Clintons showed they still own the Party. To insure their control further, the infiltrated the Kerry campaign with many of their own people.

Kerry owns the party about as much as Al did in 2000.

Each has been the party torchbearers for 2000 and 2004, respectively. But Bill and Hill still hold the match that lights the torch.

My impression is that there is a behind the scenes war for control of the party. I agree with you that the Clintons have the upper hand.

But this article is proof to me that Kerry is going to be a tougher competitor than the semi-psychotic Gore.
