First, he has to get past the DNC and the Clinton Machine. Being
concerned about his health should definately be a PRIME consideration
condering the Clinton past record with those who threaten them. If
Clinton really starts to doubt that she can win by another means, I
would become really concerned about his security. I don't think there
is ANYTHING Clinton won't do to get the nomination and I do mean
anything.
