Hillary is torpedoing the Kerry campaign. This is the first of many volleys.
You got it. Kerry must fail for Her Highness to be able to graciously accept the crown offered up by a grateful and clamorous people, and fail he will. Not only does she want to be able to jump clear of the train wreck, she needs to ensure that it happens.
Hillery probably had full invites, and simply turned them down, on purpose. Kerry is allowed to get up around 42 percent of the vote...but she can't allow him to win...he would kill off her sole chance in 2008. Amusing in a way.
