Who will Clinton support? . . . |
|
He hasn't publicly endorsed anyone yet. I know, I know . . . he called Clark a 'star'. But he is still hanging back. Does anyone think there is an icecube's chance in hell that Hillary will enter this race at the 11th hour?

1. Clinton will support whoever gets to the magic number of delegates first |
|
Hillary will not enter. Period. It's just a GOP spin to scare antifeminist voters away from the party.

nominee/presumptive nominee at the Democrats' unity dinner in late March. He isn't going to get involved in the race dynamics.

4. Which is the wise thing to do |
|
Or he may wait until someone has a majority of delegates. Which conceivably may not be until the second or third vote at the convention.
Anything premature will make everyone except who he endorses mad when he doesn't have to.

6. Here's why I ask . . . |
|
(Bear with me here, this is not my theory.)
I heard someone speculating that Dean was supposed to be the nominee because he would lose against Bush . . . opening up the 2008 opportunity for Hillary. Now that Dean is no longer in the lead, if Kerry or one of the others were to actually win against Bush in 2004, it would screw things up for Hillary in 2008 making it necessary for her to run in 2004. Has anyone else heard anything like this?

. . . that or Shmanitty. Suspiciously a RW talking point. The idea probably scares the hell out of them. I think Hillary would win.

8. The nominee; he's a good politician |
|
For whom he pulls strings in the next few days/weeks is anybody's guess, although we know he's out there doing SOMETHING, but it would be ridiculous for him to stick his neck out, and he knows it. He still has hopes of a political future. I seriously doubt he'll support anyone until it's an absolute arithmetic lock or an actual nomination.

10. OK, here's a theory for you . . . |
|
. . . I've been reading today about the curious media blackout on Clark.
What if . . . Hillary announced at the 11th hour with Clark as her VP . . . ?

11. I would love to know. Being a master politician, he knows who |
|
could best beat bush. I would HOPE he will work inside the Dem establishment for that person.
