The more they marginalize him, the more under-the-radar he can fly.
Like that wonderful letter
GV posted from the Des Moines paper yesterday. People, most of them, pay no attention to the pundits. The pundits may influence who is mentioned in the early polls, but by the time people get around to actually voting, the issues will be different, and the view most people have of the candidates (those who are
actually running at that point in time) - will also be different.
I have a feeling the news will not be good for HRC. I don't know who will be up at that point, but I don't think she will wear well. Craig Crawford was on c-span this morning talking about presidential politics, and he had some interesting things to say. For the most part, he left his snark at home and was quite intelligent. I didn't hear him mention Kerry at all (but I only watched for a short while), but he's not even sure HRC will run. He thinks her up close and personal retail politics suck.
I wonder how much she's counting on benefiting from Bill on the retail level?
