The Clintons face quite a conundrum tonight. With Hillary looking to 2008, they desperately don't want Kerry/Edwards to win. Yet, at the same time, they can't be so obvious about it as to piss off their Dem base.

Do they put themselves on autopilot and start the Convention off with not a bang, but a whimper. Or, do they go all out and make such an impression that Kerry and Edwards will both pale in comparison and they (Hillary & Bill) will be the major story of the Convention?

My guess is that they do the latter. That way they can continue to look like the shining stars of their party. And really, how can they be blamed for the fact that Kerry, unlike Bill, has no charisma and, unlike Hillary, has no vision either.

Although, it's funny that people think Bill is even capable of such a speech. After all, before his Presidency he was best known for the thunderous round of sarcastic applause he received for the saying "and in conclusion" after his very long (and very boring) speech at the '88 convention.
