And Then There's Hillary 

After I wrote my last post about Rudy, Glenn directed me to Mickey, who speculated that Hillary might want Al in the race. Kinda makes me think of Paul Simon...

Anyway, I think the reason Hillary might pine for Al -- which wasn't Mickey's answer (or at least I didn't quite see it) -- is to split the hardline Democratic antiwar vote. And again, I reference the bettor's site, www.tradesports.com, and current trading levels for the Democratic nominees. Hillary wants Al in there because he dilutes the antiwar vote, which is currently divided by Obama and Edwards. With Al and Barack and Hairman battling it out for the BDS antiwar crowd, Hillary emerges as the winner, much like Rudy benefits from a division of the hardline social conservative vote.

Man, this is fun. I love the market.

Al Gore won't run because if he does, the Apple stock option backdating issue will become headline news. Al was on Apple's board of directors and would have had oversight of the stock option dating.

If Al runs, that becomes front page news, which wouldn't be good for Al, for Steve Jobs or for Apple.

Bruce Bartlett at NRO writes what could be construed as a conservative's endorsement of HRC as the least worst choice.
