Here We Go Again

News is breaking about an alleged affair between Democtatic frontrunner John Kerry and a young intern. Lets review exactly where we are:

John Kerry is pulling away from the field, and is a near shoe-in for the nomination.

Most of the so-called "moderate" Dems (Gephardt, Lieberman, Clark) have dropped out of the race.

A Kerry scandal stretching from now until the convention would leave him deeply wounded, with Dean, Edwards, Sharpton, and Kucinich still on board.

The four aforementioned candidates are too damaged, inexperienced, or downright looney to be elected to national office.

The only Democrat capable of commanding the national stage without benefit of a primary campaign is Hillary Clinton.

The story was "leaked" to a dozen reporters by Clinton confidante Wesley Clark.

Is it possible the Clintons have "set up" Kerry so that Hillary can take over his candidacy at the convention and "save" the Democrats from certain defeat? Will we end up with a Clinton-Edwards Democratic ticket? Certainly, Hillary would easily sew up all the liberal big city democrats, and the cheery Edwards would connect with more moderate southern and midwestern constituents. Just wondering.
