What I'm about to say is strictly tin-foil hat, but hear goes: what if the left is tired of the Clintons, particularly, the part of the left that is still caught up in Kennedy Camelot, rather than Clinton Came-a-lot. In other words, could there be an effort to throw them overboard. The Dims haven't exactly prospered since they came on the scene.
I've said before and I'll repeat it again, Hillary cannot win a presidential election, not gonna happen. She cannot win one single Red State, and she will probably lose several Blue States (ME, NH, MN, WS, OR). Bob Novak wrote a column recently describing his conversations with a group of dedicated California liberal dems, and by almost 10-1 they told him they did not want Hillary to be their candidate in 08 because they feel she cannot win. According to Novak their favorite candidates are Mark Warner of Virginia and Evan Bayh of Indiana. Hillary is truly the most polarizing figure in American politics today, and if Christian Conservatives voted in large numbers last year, no one will be able to count their massive numbers in 08 if Miss Hillary is the rats' nominee. The best she can possibly hope for is the VP nod, or a cabinet seat if the rats win the WH.
