Kerry-Clinton?
I can't believe our luck will be this good- but The Drudge Report says that speculation is building that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be John Kerry's running mate!
Oh, pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease....
Seriously, this smells of a rumor being spread to grab a few headlines and attract a little attention to the extraordinarily long and boring odyssey of Kerry's quest for a VP who will strengthen the ticket without making him look like a stiff.
I think there's as much of a chance of Donald Rumsfeld being Kerry's running-mate as there is of Hillary getting the call. But we can only hope. It would mean that Kerry would be tying his fortunes to the one possible candidate who is so disliked by all but the nut-case Left that the President's negative ratings would be more than neutralized.
If Hillary is the candidate, this election ceases to be a referendum on the President, and becomes a referendum on Hillary. Let's enjoy the dream while it lasts....but alas, it's only a dream.
By the way...as an alternative to the publicity-stunt theory, I have to wonder whether the "Washington insider" named in the Drudge story might not be Dick Morris, who has been predicting that Hillary would be chosen for months. It's worth noting that even Morris has seemed to cool on that prediction of late.
