Is Hillary going to have a Lazarus moment?
Is she really dead in the water for the nomination? Apparently not yet. There may be life yet in them there bones. This recent flap over Edwards has once again got Hillary’s Operation-Resurrection busily plotting away. I previously stated my opinions about her “hell bent” attitude towards the Presidency (see “The Clinton Dynasty“
Now, according to some (”Wolfson: Edwards’ Cover-up Cost Clinton the Nomination” and “More rumblings of a Hillary coup (updated)“) she make an attempt.
“I believe we would have won Iowa, and Clinton today would therefore have been the nominee,” former Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson told ABCNews.com.
Obama won 37.6 per cent of the vote. Edwards won 29.7 per cent and Clinton won 29.5 per cent, according to results posted by the Iowa Democratic Party.
“Our voters and Edwards’ voters were the same people,” Wolfson said the Clinton polls showed. “They were older, pro-union. Not all, but maybe two-thirds of them would have been for us and we would have barely beaten Obama.”
Two months earlier, Edwards had vociferously, but falsely, denied a story in the National Enquirer about the alleged affair last October, and few in the mainstream media even reported the denial.
Of course Wolfson’s interpretation of what would have happened had not Edwards been in the mix is sheer speculation. Although I believe that Hillary has Wolfson fronting the idea to test the political waters.
If she could actually pull this stunt off and steal the nomination away from Obama… or perhaps force her way into a VP slot with her “had-it-not-been” hypothetical scenarios, it would flip the DNC on its head for years to come. No longer will it be able to say Bush stole the election in 2000 and 2004, but now could add Hill’s name to the list of swindlers.
I very seriously doubt the party will let her get away with it. But again, she is determined to be President at any cost. The whooing of the super delegates will commence shortly.
The plot thickens.
