hillary and bill tell Moyahan to retire in order for hillary to get his seat in the Senate.
They tell jeffords to switch.
They play lott like a fish on a line
They tell Thompson not to run for re-election.

Results, gore runs for Senate seat, hillary runs for President.

If Gore gets the Senate seat, I'm not sure it helps Hillary run, in 2004, at least. However, it would help the Dems keep the Senate, which at the moment is the only way they can block Bush appointments to the judiciary. Maybe they decided they had to blackmail Thompson into withdrawing because they decided they could not win the presidential election in 2004.

Bush recess appointments to the judiciary are the obvious way to foil this little plan. I wonder when the Bush administration will decide that is the way to go.
