My story is that there is no way that we'll see a Clark/Clinton ticket. Clark is too arrogant and she's, well, no comment. A ticket that won't get off the ground because of the internal contradictions, i.e., she's profoundly leftist and anti-military. How can they ever get along? More importantly, how can they convince the American voters that the ticket is anything but a marriage of convenience designed to manipulate them into thinking that the Dems are effective when it comes to national security issues? On the other hand, she's experienced at marriages of convenience. Hillary still is too much of a lightning rod. A lot of people despise her more than they despised Bill. She has to let that perception cool. Better to wait 'til '08 if it looks like Dean will be the sacrificial lamb, uh, I mean Dem nominee.

In 1968 Eugene McCarthy was often called a stalking horse for RFK. He did the initial legwork and when popular opinion started turning against LBJ, RFK jumped in. In that case kennedy and mccarthy did not like each other. Fast forward to now. Picture dean as the dem that has to be knocked off for Hillary to have a chance. Put Clark out there to do that. Once weakened, dean may self destruct. After all he is an arrogant sob. Now the big danger is that Clarks steals it not only from dean but from the other dems. Clintons are betting against that happening and at a propicious time, Hilary enters to break the logjam. She owns the left and sooths the hurt dean voters. General Clark as running mate sooths the Kerry military voters and the lieberman conservatives. The unions give up on gephardt and..... The only thing that is not clear is whether clark really feels that clinton is giving him a window to get the nomination and if he does then the promise would be Hilary as VP and a 16 year clinton rule. Bill probably will be secy of state and will have plenty of interns at his disposal. Mike

I remember Hillary standing by Andrew Cumo when he was their (Hillary and Bill) personal choice to run for ny state governor.. She didn't even acknowledge the other candidate running for the ticket.. Once Andrew stepped on himself Hillary was in the cable news walking hand in hand with the other candidate.. They dropped Andrew so fast it was unbelievable.. These Clintons are a two party system ,, Bill ,,,and Hillary.... anyone else ,watch out, .. I still think they are using Clark to break up the boys and no one wins in 2004 except Bush...
