New York junior
Senator Hillary Rodham-Clinton will leave the Democratic party
shortly before July 4th, and become a Republican, no one has reported.
It is expected by these non-existent sources that the Senator Rodham-Clinton
is waiting until after the college commencement address season
to make the announcement.
Speculation about
the Rodham-Clinton move did not reportedly gain force as the Iraq
counterterror controversy, sparked by the 9/11 Commission hearings,
placed renomination of President Bush in doubt. With the Democratic
nomination wrapped up by Senator John F. Kerry, the Rodham-Clinton
move would open the door to a draft at the Republican convention.
(The latter statement is, fortunately, literally accurate).
With President
Bush the likely Republican presidential nominee, the GOP national
convention in New York City, late in summer, was expected to attract
tens of thousands of anti-Bush and anti-Republican demonstrators,
perhaps eager to bring a "The Whole World is Watching" scenario
to New York City as the protesters at the 1968 Democratic National
Convention in Chicago make their last hurrah. At that convention
the cause was the Vietnam war. In New York City the cause would
be the Iraq situation. The Rodham-Clinton switch to the GOP would
definitely be a demonstration downer.
“If Winston
Churchill, if Senator Jeffords, could change political parties
why can't I?" the New York junior Senator might say, announcing
the change. And then she could wait until United for Peace and
Justice (UFPJ) gathers in Manhattan, August 29, and make her first
