"the 44th President will not be Wesley Clark.A howler!Why’s that? First and foremost, Wes is a Friend Of Bill, as in Clinton. Bill gets through FOBs at an enormous rate and even those who don’t wind up dead, in jail or drowning in legal bills rarely prosper. . . . the Clintons’ Democratic party is great for the Clintons, disastrous for the Democratic party. From Arkansas, Bill went on to Washington; his successor as governor, Jim Guy Tucker, went on to jail. His party lost control of Congress, but Bill got re-elected. He survived the impeachment trial, but his vice-president lost the White House. He bequeathed a New York senate seat to his wife, but the Clinton flack he installed at the Democratic National Committee led the party to defeat in just about every competitive senate race last November.
. . . In last year’s election . . . you could pretty much correlate the Democrats’ worst results with Bill’s travel schedule during the campaign . . . If I were a Democrat, my main priority for the party would be to get the car keys back from Bill Clinton. "
A howler, yes -- but I think the "car keys" line is spot-on. The D's are headed for a real war to see whether or not the Clintons will remain in control of the party.
That battle will have to take place before next summer's convention.
Should be a very interesting winter and spring.
