While the Clinton campaign is keeping this news close to the vest, sources here in Connecticut close to Joe Lieberman have revealed that Hillary is seriously considering an Independent bid for the White House.

The Clinton campaign sees John McCain as a very weak candidate & believes that they can beat him & Barack Obama in a 3-way race. They have arrived at this conclusion after a series of lengthy consultations with Sen. Lieberman, a long time friend & supporter of the Clintons. Despite his support of McCain, sources tell us that Lieberman was surprisingly frank with the Clinton people. He sees a lot of similarities between this presidential race & his successful independent run for the Senate just 2 years ago against a weak Republican candidate &an ultra-liberal Democratic nominee.

Although Lieberman believes that McCain would be the best president for the country, he is strongly of the mind that America is not ready for an Afrcian-American president - even an Ivy League educated one with a white mother. "I marched in Selma & Birmingham in the '60's, but I certainly didn't do so to open the door to this kind of ultra-left wing politics," Lieberman is quoted as saying, adding that Obama's plan to precipitously withdraw troops from Iraq make him no friend of Israel. He is convinced that Hillary would be a much better president for Israel.

Having listened to Lieberman, Hillary & her people now agree with him that identifying herself as an "Independent Democrat" is the way to go. Their assessment is that Clinton & Lieberman could form the nucleus of a new third party movement that would be built around a coalition of hard working whites & pro-Israeli militarists, who are clearly the centrist voters who have determined all American elections since 1824. (You may remember that 1824 was the election decided by the infamous "Corrupt Bargain" in the House of Representatives in favor of John Quincy Adams, thereby denying the presidency to Andrew Jackson who won the popular vote in a 4-way general election.)

According to one unnamed source close to Bill Clinton: "The beauty of this approach is that even if Hillary loses her bid for the White House as a Lieberman-style Independent Democrat, she can still caucus with the Democrats in the Senate & will successfully seek the position of Democrtic Majority Leader. Most Democrats realize that the party no longer represents Hard Working White America & that Obama has only obtained the nomination by rigging the vote in the caucus states & by exploiting his advantage as a black man with the liberal media."

In a final note on the matter, our sources have revealed that Geraldine Ferraro has agreed to run as Vice President. Our source commented: "The first all-female ticket will be both ground breaking & historic. Since women are more than 50% of the electorate, a Rodham-Clinton/Ferraro-Zaccaro combination would be unstoppable. In addition to the life time of experience that Rep. Ferraro will bring to the campaingn, she will consolidate support with the all important Mafia vote."

Because the Constitution does not permit two candidates from the same state to run as President & Vice President, Ferraro will follow the example of current VP Dick Cheney & will change her legal residence to Florida where she maintains a seond home. Ferraro insists that any similarities to Cheney will end there. "I certainly have no plans to shoot anyone in the face any time soon," she joked with some media insiders who are in the know about the Clinton plan, "but I do plan to change my historic opposition to gun regulation because it is just not compatible with the views of Hard Working White American Centrists, whose views most representat the America I stand for." She added that the change in her position on gun regulation will enable her to join Hillary on hunting trips in Central Park during the upcoming campaingn.

Hillary plans to take this campaign all the way to the election in November & beyond, so we will keep you advised as new developments become available to us. God bless America, the land of the free & the home of the brave . . . as long as they are hard working & white.

Numbers are stubborn things.

So is Terry McAuliffe. As stubborn as they come.

Terry wants to count Florida & Michigan because he wants every vote to count. But he doesn't want to address the fact that many citizens didn't vote in these primaries because they were told that they wouldn't count.

This was especially true in Michigan where you couldn't vote for Obama, Edwards, & the rest because they weren't even on the ballot. Despite this fact, enough voters turned out in Michigan that "uncommitted" received 40% of the vote. Yes, 40% of the voters said in effect "anyboidy but Hillary". Yet, the Michigan state committee wants to give the majority of the uncommitteds to Hillary! That takes gall.

Terry is strangely silent on following the will of the voters who voted uncommitted in Michigan. There is no way to count these votes as anything other than against Hillary. Since Obama is the only other candidate still in the race, these votes clearly belong to him at this point in the mind of any reasonable person. But Terry McAuliffe is not a reasonable person when it comes to this race.

Terry wants to claim that Hillary will have the majority of the popular vote when this is over. Ignoring the fact that this is irrelevant under the system to choose a nominee, Terry arrives at his numbers by ignoring the uncommitted votes in Michigan. He then goes further by ignoring the votes cast in the 4 caucus states that do not keep records of popular vote totals.

But why have any logical consistency when you're a man-on-a-mission? Terry wants to stand up & fight for the "disenfranchised" voters of Florida & Michigan by disenfranchising voters in caucus states & by disenfranchising the voters in Michigan who voted "uncommittted. When we leave the bizarro world of Terry McAuliffe, these votes must also be included in the calculations. In the real world, Obam easily wins the popular vote even with Florida & Michigan included as voted.

I must add a footnote about Carl Levin, who has totally disgraced himself in this process. Not only is he personally responsible for the debacle of the January Michigan primary, but he has now gone a giant step further by leading the Michigan delegation to award "uncommitted" delegates to Hillary. She was on the ballot! Anyone who wante to vate for her could have done so! These votes belong to anyone but Hillary.

Levin & the leaders of the Florida Democratic Party are personally responsible for disenfranchising the voters in their own states - voters whose interests they were elected to represent. They failed miserably in meeting that responsibility. They now have the nerve to claim that they are fighting to have those constituents' votes count. They should instead be coming forward on their hands & knees with "mea culpas" for creating this travesty.
