Hillary to Challenge Kerry's Nomination at Convention ("He can't win")

Westchester Daily Press ^ | 4-01-04 | April O'Phuel

[Dan from Michigan]

New York - Sources high up in the Democratic National Committee say that there is a strong push for Senator Hillary Clinton to push for the presidential nomination this fall.

One senior official as the Democratic National Committee stated "I just do not believe that John Kerry can beat George W Bush. He is not gaining any traction and is even losing support as he is letting himself be defined by Bush. It's going to be Michael Dukakis all over again. We need to make sure our candidate at this convention can unite all the democrats in our party, and also defeat George Bush. The best person that can do that is Hillary Clinton.

While Hillary Clinton has strong support among democrats, republicans oppose her just as strongly. Stephen Austin is among them. "Hillary Clinton is a left-wing extremist, and that's the bottom line!" Duane Johnson, the assistant press secretary for Bush-Cheney 04, simply said "It doesn't matter who they run."

We'll keep a close eye on this situation as it develops.

Be careful what you say...this one might actually come true.

Story by April O'Phuel? Something tells me there's a little humor to this.

I hope she does run so she can loose in an profoundly embarassing landslide. Great opportunity for many Americans to show her how much we HATE the Clintons.

[Badeye]

I've got $1,000 dollars to put up against anyone that believes Hillary Clinton will be on the ticket come November, let alone the Presidential candidate in Kerry's place.

Please let me know if anyone wants to take this bet.

Ahh the good ole Irish prankster April O'Phuel is at it again :-)

In other news, as part of her "Love the troops" campaign, Hillary was showered with roses and shouts of "We love you, Hillary!" from 82nd airborne troops whipped into a frenzy at the sight of the US Military's biggest defender and champion.
"Hillary's Iraq plan, her healthcare plan, and her championing of second ammendent rights, coupled with her slavish devotion to Family Values and Morals, makes her the US Military's choice for President in 2004," claimed 82nd public affairs officer, Harold Ickes..

GO HILLARY GO...MAKE OUR DAY

[Our man in washington]

If they go with this tactic, the Democrats lose a major line of attack. All that business about "Bush stole the last election", "all the votes weren't counted", etc. loses quite a bit of its punch if the Democrats nominate someone who received no primary votes whatsoever.

Of course, I personally think Bush won fair and square in 2000. But the Democrats have convinced some people that Bush stole the election.

[mlbford2]

If Hillary runs even my perma-drunk, redneck, never voted in their lives, I think I'm conservative because I'm not a pussy, friends of mine will be at the voting booth to vote against Hillary (not necassarily for Bush).

[Our man in washington]

Oops! You got me! Well done!

[shield]

A Lesbian. HA HA HA...Now the people of the USA will learn her true leanings.

They've got one thing right, Kerry can't beat Bush...but neither can Hitlery.

[San Jacinto]

Seems like a pretty good way to throw the topic out there......."Oh, I was only foolin'. There's nothing to this".....Yet, the germ of the idea is planted.

[F.J. Mitchell]

April Fool? Maybe, but if the Dems are bringing their witch it must be Halloween over on the frenzied left.

I hate April 1st.

You can't believe anything you read.

[Eva]

I saw another article last night, suggesting this scenario as a possibility. The Democrats know Kerry is unelectable.

[netmilsmom]

I can see a dozen trolls rushing back to the DU thrilled!

(you got me too! Good Job)

[StriperSniper]

PING! ;-)

[familyofman]

I missed the April Fool tag.

I can't see this as anything but fantasy and daydreaming by a few Dems who are sour on Kerry's chances. I can't imagine any way this could possible happen unless something physically happened to Kerry; then it is quite possible a draft-Hillary campaign could emerge. Kerry's been campaigning for over a year, and he's not going to stand down for Hillary.

[John Lenin]

In every poll I've seen when Hitlery runs against Bush his numbers go up an additional 5%. Bring it on !

[pctech]

Blast it man, got me too. Either I'm getting old or the author really did a good job fooling me, probably both!!

[Centurion2000]

Please let her run .... and then let her try massive vote fraud.

A Civil War is coming on the heels of this woman.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO THEY RUN!!!!!!!!!!

[onedoug]

[wildbill]

I refuse to say I told you so--repeatedly.

Might not happen, but it's her best shot.

[firebrand]

Oh, the Westchester Daily Press! That rag. I should have known better.

[mabelkitty]

And Kerry will say, "And she can win?"

I knew something was up when Clinton couldn't look Kerry in the eye at the Democrates United dinner. I just knew it.

Look for Edwards or Clark to be her running mate, and Dean is the one paving Kerry's demise.

Authorette of the article is the ever insightful April O'Phuel.

[InvisibleChurch]

run, hillary, run! ... so we can finally be rid of you

[mabelkitty]

You stink!
I was about to page Mr. Mabelkitty at work, and boy would I be in trouble.

[FourtySeven]

While this is an April Fool's joke, there's probably a bit of truth here.

Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.

[OXENinFLA]

In other News a Pink Elephant was seen wandering in the back yard of John Kerry's house.

[Mo1]

Same here

[freedomlover]

Doesn't Kerry have a daughter?

[Range Rover]

Nobody should be lulled into thinking that this is NOT a real trial balloon with the added bonus of having "April Fools" deniability.
