DFA blogger thinks Hillary is very viable to be the Dems choice

[candy331]

(I read this post by a blogger and found myself thinking giving some thought to what he was saying maybe even some some ring of truth. It can be just casually dismissed as speculation but so is all the rest of politics. Rangel's replacement of Kerry this morning on MTP feeds into it as it may mean Kerry may be in damage control mode. Want to give some feed back to this take on things? Will Kerry get the win on the nomination only to be replaced by a drafted Hillary?


**** The Drudge Report broke the Kerry intern story but an X CLINTON insider (Larry Nichols) predicted that Kerry would soon be assailed "accidently, on purpose" (sounds like Clark's 'accidental' slip...yep!) Except Nichols predicted it before it happened.

(See the excerpt below, the DNC is working to have a CLINTON/CLARK ticket...Hillary at the convention).

HOW CAN HILLARY GET IN THE RACE NOW?

I know a lot of people are wondering. If Hillary is to get in the race, wouldn't she have to hurry up, before John Kerry wins enough delegates to ensure his getting the nod during their convention in July? The answer is, not necessarily. At this point for her to enter the primary race would be in violation of her pledge not to run and would still expose her to the primary race slugfest, considering that Senator Kerry and the other candidates are still in the running. The premise by which Hillary would enter the political chess match was and still is for her to be drafted, as the only person the Democrats have who could beat President Bush in the general election.

Even though it seems that Senator Kerry will have legitimately won the right to represent the Democratic Party against Bush, I don't
believe it will ever happen. If you want to know what is happening during this Democratic primary, its best not to look at what you can see as the election saga progresses. The place to watch for the eventual outcome is, as it always is, with the Clintons in the underbelly of the party apparatus. If you look there you will find
that the Clintons' key political operatives are in every key position. Terry McAuliffe is in charge of the money as well as the DNC machine. Harold Ickes is raising millions from the Hollywood elite to back whichever candidate wins the Democratic Party primary. For anyone to believe that the Clintons would involve their people to this extent to get someone else elected is a serious mistake. The reason is simple. If they let someone else win the primary, that
person would become the power center of the party, especially, if someone other than Hillary were to run against Bush and win.

The reality of this situation is what keeps me grounded in my belief that she is still staying with their plan for her to be the candidate the Democrats put forth to challenge Bush. The problem you have is that you may not yet see the potential she still has to end up being the only candidate that will be allowed to run against Bush. The slight of hand that they could use to pull off this trick would be to let Kerry go head and become the obvious victor, which will cause all of the other candidates to get out. Once that is done, don't be surprised if some very damaging information on Kerry is accidentally on purpose leaked that will destroy his ability to beat Bush. That would leave the party in the recarious situation of having elected a candidate in the Democratic primary process that could not possibly be allowed to run against Bush. At that point they would have little choice but to draft someone else that would be able to rally the party and run a national Presidential campaign on short notice. Do I really need to tell you who that person would be?

So you see, Hillary is still very much in the running for the Presidency against George W. Bush in 2004.

1. That would be worse than Lieberman in 2000 IMHO.

Senator Clinton is not well liked. Simple as that. She is abrasive and I think it would be an error.

2. As a Kerry supporter...There is only one thing that worries me.

Hillary wants to run for President in 2008.

3. this is just a looney freeper conspiracy theory

it's their worst fear, but there's no chance of it happening. we shouldn't even give this crap exposure.

4. Loony is right

No way will Hillary run in 2004. She's way too intelligent and principled to do a thing like that.
