Follow the Rangel

All of those who read Sid Blumenthal's "The Clinton Wars" know that in September 1998, Hillary Clinton took a congressional delegation to the Dominican Republic to survey the damage from Hurricane Mitch. Rep. Charles Rangel from Harlem, who joined the mission, told Hillary that he knew who could win the election for Senator Moniyahn's soon-to-be vacated Senate seat. Hillary, Blumenthal relates, asked "Just who might that be?" Rangel responded, "You."

Now, Mark Shields reports that Rangel has become an unlikely ally of Wes Clark.

DSBPI has not drawn any conclusions on this data yet, but as Jack Bauer might say in "24": we're gonna run it through the system and start connecting the dots.
