LOL always scheming those clintons.



"

Some Democrats terrified that their bloody primary campaign will doom
them in November are floating a consolation prize for Hillary Clinton:
governor of New York.

The travails of New York Gov. David Paterson have opened up a new
potential career path for Clinton, according to well-informed Democratic
Party insiders who refused to allow their names to be used when
discussing contingencies. They want her to consider the option if she
concludes after the April 22 Pennsylvania primary that she cannot
overtake Barack Obama for the party's presidential nomination. Hillary
Clinton, while fully committed to continuing her presidential campaign,
was said to be open to discussing the idea, while Bill Clinton rejected
it out of hand.

With former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani now reported by the New York
Post to be weighing a race for governor, voters could see a
Clinton-Giuliani matchup after all.

Paterson, a former state senator and lieutenant governor, succeeded Gov.
Eliot Spitzer, who was forced to resign earlier this month when he was
caught in a prostitution ring. A legally blind African-American with
plenty of friends in Albany, Paterson has admitted to extensive drug use
when he was young and to having had several extramarital affairs,
including one with a New York state employee. The governor has denied
using taxpayer money for the affairs, but new rumors are swirling around
the scandal-weary state capital.

In the event that Paterson had to resign, the New York State
Constitution calls for a gubernatorial election this November. Clinton
would be the favorite in that contest if she were interested. Were a
politically wounded Paterson to serve out Spitzer's term, which ends in
2010, Clinton would no doubt be a strong potential candidate to succeed
him.

Under the scenario sketched out by the insiders, serving two years as
governor would give Clinton the executive experience to become the
prohibitive favorite for the 2012 Democratic presidential nomination.
Clinton believes that Barack Obama may well lose this year to John
McCain, who would be 75 in 2012 and a possible one-term president.
Clinton would arguably be better positioned to replace McCain in the
White House as a governor than as a senator".

1. Every time Giulianni has had a match with Hillary, he has bowed out for
some reason or another.

2. Both Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt jumped from Governor of New
York to President of the US. Teedy got 'sidelined' as VP for about 6 months
in-between because the Combine wanted him out of NY governor.

3. I'm afraid the Rush The Vote will help inaugurate Hillary and Hillary
will use Rush to get what she wants, which is total bitch domination of the
world time-space continuum.

If she becomes governor of New York those people will get exactly what
they deserve. Actually it might end up being good in the long run.
Six years of true misery for New York will turn them away from an
automatic Democrat voting state to one that will be in play for the
future. When I lived there in the early 90s the taxes were stifling;
just imagine what will happen if she starts creating the budgets.

People have only themselves to blame for voting these bozos into office.
