Kerry "fuming" over fellow Dems backing Hillary...

You know for a long time I've been going under the assumption that Hillary Clinton will skate to the Dem Presidential nomination in 2008, with little or no opposition.

But it seems John "Francois" Kerry is serious about another run in four years. In fact, when fellow Senator Mark Dayton recently introduced Hillary as "the next great President of the United States" at a Democrat dinner in Minneapolis, Kerry was livid.

According to the NY Post, Kerry approached Dayton on the Senate floor a few days later "with daggers in his eyes" asking him why he would endorse his 2008 rival. It seems that Kerry isn't simply mulling the future run, he's already trying to lock down support.

Couple that with former VP candidate John Edwards' recent poo-pooing of Clinton's inevitability as the front-runner, and it looks like we could have some real vicious snipping in a couple of years. I love it.

But what I'm really looking forward to is seeing Hillary on the stump. At the dinner reported on above in the Post:

Clinton thrilled Democrats with her red-meat speech, accusing President Bush of ushering in "a brave new world of extremism."

She painted Republican lawmakers as "extras in the movie 'I, Robot' " and said Bush's call for an "ownership society" amounts to trying to turn America into a "you're-on-your-own society."

Clinton's fiery speech contrasted with her recent highly publicized moves to the center.

Ever seen Hillary fired up on the stump? She becomes "Shrillary". It's quite disturbing to watch. You expect her head to start spinning around. Sound bites of her screaming into the mike will make lovely political ads. Let the "blonde ambition" tour begin!!
