Trent Lott & Vince Foster –
Long shots ?
Trent Lott announced yesterday or thereabouts that he’s resigning his Senate seat in January. Rather abrupt. Spoke of wanting to “do things” with his wife.
Meanwhile I spy Republican clubhouse unwilling to nominate McCain, Romney or Giuliani. None are GOPhers at heart. All rather … individualistic.
Long Shot One: Trent Lott gets nominated. Familiar. Abides by the rules. Draws the Nixon/Reagan Democrat vote.
Seems Likely: Donkeys will nominate Hillary.
But Then Also Likely: Two weeks after the Donkey Convention … Vince Foster rises from the dead. Stories they were lovers. His wife is already on PBS video, from early 90s, implying and all but explicitly saying this. Skeleton falls from closet.
Long Shot Two: The smear works. And the vote is close enough in the key states to get monkeyed with (third time now) and Trent gets assigned the White House seat in January 2009.
