How about Gov. Hillary?
Newsweek's Jonathan Alter floats a fun rumor totally from fantasyland:
People trying to pave the way for Hillary to stop a fight for the presidency that might damage the party are supposedly suggesting to her that Paterson may have to resign because of new revelations about sex, drugs and public money.
Then, maybe there would be a special election in November.
Hillary could run, and win -- maybe in a match-up with Giuliani.
Then, McCain would defeat Obama.
Then McCain would be 75 in 2012, while Hillary would have added the executive experience of being governor to her resume.
So she would win the presidency.
Bill Clinton has supposedly dismissed the whole idea, but Hillary has not. An unnamed aide, however, seems to think it's all made up and she's still focused on 2008:
"Every time the punditocracy says otherwise, she happens to win. Hillary believes, and so do I, that she'll be president this year. It may be an alternative universe, but it's the one they [the Clintons] live in."

I think Riley must live an alternative universe also, to think that Hillary will win this or any year. But half the population in this country is stupid enough to vote for a lib
Let's tie into the media's other fantasy. Hillary will then appoint Bloomberg to replace her in the Senate so that Mike doesn't run against her for Governor.
Hillary is not going to Albany. Albany? She lives in Washington. She's not a New Yorker, she's a Senator. Bloomberg makes more sense.
Yes, just what Albany Needs another person who LIES. Maybe she can fly into Albany and run for cover like in Bosnia ??
This woman is a psycho!
I've been screening out the calls from Hillary begging for the money I promised her, but after what happened the other day I just had to take this one!
HILLARY: Ballmer! You #%$% worm! You swore that you would send campaign donations the last time we spoke! You must not know who I am!
BALLMER: Oh, I know exactly who you are! You are the psychotic liar who got up behind a podium and claimed to have repelled into Bosnia, scrambled across the tarmac under heavy sniper fire, returned fire killing two alqueda terrorist while rescuing a native little girl in the line of fire and later that evening garroting an assassin in your bedroom!
HILLARY: I Say millions of words a day! I can't control them all! I misspoke!
BALLMER: This is the first time in my life that I wish I cursed, but let me put it this way: You and Bill were made for each other!
HILLARY: I'll bury you Ballmer! WHAT ABOUT MY MONEY!?
BALLMER: Ya know Hellary, the only thing I'm afraid of is that one day you will become president!
You will wake up one morning believing that we are being attacked by the Russians then launch a counter-strike! You with your finger on the nuclear trigger scares the bejesus out of me!
Lady! I'm sending ten million to both Barak and McCain!
HILLARY: So I'm getting nothing at all?
BALLMER: (I thought about it for a few seconds) Tell you what, I'll have my people send you and your campaign 1000 Celeron computers running Windows Ultimate!
