BILL SPEAKS---HILLARY DOESN'T

There is major significance in the speeches by Bill Clinton supporting Bush and the War. Whatever you think of Clinton, he is a hell of a politician, which means he has a nose for success. He took the party to the center, he won, and governed. I think he has made the decision that the Democrats are headed to one of the worst election losses since the Republicans lost in 1932 if they continue hard Left. He is staking out the middle for Hillary. Hillary will then step up to "save" the party or, more accurately, rebuild it from scratch.

The Democrats are likely to lose thirty House seats and seven Senate seats as Bush wins by a Rooseveltian margin. The party will lose Kerry, Dean, Gephardt, and others. Worse, in a landslide envisioned by Bill Clinton, they will lose most of the state legislatures, even more governorships, and be left with only hard core leftists from states like New York, Massachusetts, and California. Democrats in every other state will be looking for new leadership and that leadership will come from Hillary Clinton, espousing centerist politics.

Lately she has spoken only occasionally and when she has she has supported the war and implied support for the transformation of Iraq. She is going to emerge as THE centerist of the party and the strongest Democrat in the Party. Bill Clinton would like to stem the bleeding if he can knowing that if the party is wrecked like the Republican Party was wrecked in 1932 they could be out of power for half a century. There is also major significance in the support for school vouchers by centerist Diane Feinstein of California who up to now has been a die hard Teachers Union supporter. When this Left Wing suicide charge is over you will have Lieberman, Corzine, Clinton, the 70 year old Feinstein, older than God Ted Kennedy, and a few others wandering in the wilderness.
