War is Hill!
The Hillary Clinton campaign is fighting mad about "Swift Boat" tactics, and they're not going to take it! In a fund-raising e-mail message sent out on Thursday, Mrs. Clinton's campaign also said her critics were preparing an advertising campaign against her similar to the one orchestrated by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that attacked Senator John Kerry's Vietnam service during the presidential election.Fiery partisan? I'll say. They're fighting back -- biker style - and they even have a logo:  Is this some kind of April Fool's Joke? No, seriously. posted by Eric on 04.01.05 at 11:19 AM

Actually, by pushing the Republicans to the right, she's the religious conservatives' dream. They want her because she shares their goal: ascendancy of the religious right within the Republican party. Sure, they and she will appear to hate each other, but in reality a presidential victory for Hillary Clinton would be better for the religious right. (More money, a clearer enemy, and general agreement on ridding the country of libertarians, Republican moderates, and old-style small government conservatives.) I'm not sure that "intelligent people" will be much heard from. But speaking of intelligence, for what it's worth, I think she's the key to achieving permanent disunity and discord within the Republican Party. She may go down as one of the great political geniuses of our time. The magic of this is that most Republicans will imagine that she's uniting them -- while the divisions in the Republican ranks approach mudslide proportions.... She will win, too. (Don't worry!) Eric Scheie · April 1, 2005 02:48 PM Actually, I think ANY Democrat winning would be "good" for the faux-Christians: they would trash the moderates for not being extreme enough, and have an enemy in power whom they could blame for everything they think is wrong with America. Quite frankly, I don't think Hillary could win, for a variety of reasons. Then again, the next GOP nominee is bound to be better than Bush (unless they all drink the wrong Kool-Aid and go for Quayle or Keyes), and I can't think of any Democrat who would win in 2008 - assuming God doesn't destroy America with tsunamis in 2007 like some Jordanian mullah says he will. As another blogger said, the Democrats are in such a state that they could run Jed Bartlett against an empty hot-dog wrapper and still lose.

She's PARTISAN? And she's FIGHTING BACK? I'm SHOCKED! That's unheard of! Now the Republicans will have to nominate intelligent people, and America will never be the same!
