Mr. Clinton's popularity with ex-cons in 1996 represented a significant improvement over his 1992 numbers, when he won their votes with a mere 86 percent landslide.

This week Hillary's Count Every Vote Act will be introduced in the Senate, co-sponsored by 2004 presidential loser Sen. John Kerry.

Hillary's bill includes a measure to restore voting rights to "felons who have repaid their debt to society" from sea to shining sea - overriding the the Constitution's 14th Amendment, which explicity gives states the right to make that determination.

By Hillary's count, that would add a potential pool of 4.7 million voters to the mix.

A recent study by Jeff Manza and Marcus Britton of Northwestern University and Christopher Uggen of the University of Minnesota found that 30 percent of felons would vote if Hillary's law was passed. That's 1.4 million new voters.

If they vote the same way their formerly incarcerated brethren did in states where ex-cons can vote already, likely 2008 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton will pick up an extra 1.2 million votes - enough to put her over the top in an even not-so-close race.

And that's not all. With 1.2 million ex-cons voting Democrat, President Hillary will likely have a House and Senate controlled by her own party. If you think Ken Starr was abusive, wait till Hillary's congressional buddies get subpoena power.

With those results in mind, it's no wonder Sen. Clinton is working overtime to make sure every felon's vote counts by the time she runs.
