Vice President Hilliary Clinton?

According to the Drudge Report
, anyway:

Official Washington and the entire press corps will be rocked when
Hillary Rodham Clinton is picked as Kerry’s VP and a massive love
fest will begin!

So predicts a top Washington insider, who spoke to the DRUDGE REPORT
on condition he not be named.

“All the signs point in her direction,” said the insider, one of the
most influential and well-placed in the nation’s capital. “It is the
solution to every Kerry problem.”

“There are three issues that this campaign will be decided on –
national security, health care, and the economy, not necessarily in
that order.”

“Kerry believes that no one is better on national security than he
is, he served in Vietnam after all, so he has that covered and the
suggestion that he needs to strengthen the ticket with someone who
has national security credentials is dismissed as foolish.”

I don’t buy it. From the tone of the commentary, this “top Washington
insider” is member of the GOP.

I the guy actually agitating for Sen. Clinton to get the nod. Perhaps,
although for the life of me I cannot understand why so many Republicans
are itching to run against her.

Lissen up folks: The Clintons won two races against you guys. There’s no
reason to think having this person on the ticket won’t actually help the
the Kerry ticket. GOPers have an irrational — almost pathological –
fixation on the Clintons that goes beyond their fitness for office. It’s
every bit as sick and twisted as the far left’s hatred of George W. Bush.

There is a huge mushy middle ground of voters who may not think the sun
shined out of Bill and Hillary’s butts, but they remember the Fat Times
that (coincidentally) accompanied his two terms.

Funny thing is, thanks to the start of the recovery, Kerry would be the
beneficiary if he happens to win.
