Some generic right-wing radio host declared that Hillary would become president because she is ruthless and will do anything to gain power.

A fascinating prospect, a Hillary Clinton presidency. I can’t say that I want her to be president, but there is a general feeling articulated by Rick Emerson: “I want Hillary Clinton to be president solely to send some red-state Inlaws into a conniption fit.”

But, you know… there is one way to stop Hillary Clinton from seizing control of the presidency. Elect John Kerry. Twice.

Bush wins the White House, four years from now the backlash will send the “ruthless” Hillary Clinton (fenagled control of the DNC apparatus) into the White House. Or so the theory goes.

But, if you elect John Kerry, and then re-elect him in 2008 — the soonest that Hillary Clinton can go for it is 2016 — vice-president John Edwards being at the ready for 2012. Then, it would probably simply be too late in the same way that it worked for the Kennedys, where Ted Kennedy was the man who the DNC apparatus desperately sought to jump into the race as it was clear that McGovern was making his way toward the nomination, the peculiarities of 1976 made the outsider Carter the nominee, the 1980 bid fell short perhaps because of the short-term “rally around the flag” effect of the Iranian hostages being taken perhaps because of that drunken boat death scandal, and after that — it just becomes too goddamned late.

So Stop Hillary Clinton NOW. Elect John Kerry in 2004. Re-elect John Kerry in 2008. And, just to be on the safe side, Elect John Edwards in 2012. Then, Satan Reincarnated will not seize power.
