Duo kills Hillary’s chances of running

All I can say is “thank you, John Kerry.” You’ve successfully put an end to the Clinton dynasty with your choice of John Edwards as running mate. I can say this because now Hillary Clinton will never become president. Let’s face it, if Kerry wins in November, he’ll run again in 2008, and Hillary won’t be able to run until 2012. The obvious front runner and heir apparent in 2012 would be John Edwards. If John Kerry loses, and he will, the candidate with the most momentum in 2008 will be John Edwards again. If Edwards loses in 2008, which he will, Hillary won’t be able to run again until 2012. And at 72 years of age it would never happen. Either way, it’s a win for those of us who’ve seen enough of Bill and Hillary.
