Howie ain't that dumb -- on the extremely slight possibility that he won, he'd have to walk around for the next four years wondering when he was going to commit Arkancide.

Morris is again out to lunch. He underestimates Hillary's unsurpassed and unrealized ego and ambition. She would never accept VEEP nor would any sane candidate accept her presence on the ticket. No, she wants the big prize and is prepared to pay any price, go anywhere, do anything to get it. In her recent CFA address she laid claim to the currently dormant Scoop Jackson wing of the party that, in many ways, is a good deal more conservative than W's brand of of compassionate conservativism. A deal could be in the making wherein she brings moderate Democrats to Carl Rove in return for a "later reward". If the electorate remains polarized in November 04 her votes would offset the disillusioned Republican conservatives who will not show up on election day. A party switch before the election would give her the headlines and gravitas that she craves, and it would give Carl Rove the accolades that deal makers can only dream about.

I don't think he'd have to wait that long.

Correct. Dean would have to be insane to put Hillary that close to power. She'd have him impeached or resigning inside of 2 years, and he knows it.

Morris has concocted a ridiculous scenario this time, imho. Otoh, Dean is insane.
