The GOP is *saying* she’s the candidate they want now because they want to weaken her so she can’t win the nomination — because they know she’s tough enough and has the experienced staff to take them on in a general election, and to beat them." I'm not quite sure which part of the time-space continuum got interrupted for this to even be remotely true. From minute one of her candidacy, it was operatives up to & including Karl Rove who pushed the Clinton-as-candidate meme. (Google will help in this regard.) Why could that be? Well, read any of the inner-beltway gossip and it will be instantly clear that she's the classic victim, having been routinely abused by the GOP since her days in Little Rock. With her, they know exactly who they would be getting -- someone they can beat up just like they did before, and someone who would respond in exactly the same way. The 'base' wants Hillary because with her, things really won't change all that much. She's just the other side of the exact same coin. “With respect, you’re not correct about Sen. Clinton.

So Hillary Clinton knows nothing about foreign affairs? Wow. Perhaps you might want to re-read an earlier post by Joe Wilson, in which he explained Hillary Clinton's role in encouraging her spouse (when he was Pres.) to visit Africa. But perhaps you think that we should just leave all the problems of that continent to be solved by Bono, Angelina Jolie, and assorted hangers-on...? Let's just not bother any US presidents, nor presidential candidates, with fuzzy details about critical continents, when the REAL rock stars can address Serious Problems, eh?) Curiously, Joe Wilson seems to think it's worth keeping Africa on the foreign pollicy radar. But then, what would a former ambassador know, huh...? ------- As for the woman-hater on this thread, he has inadvertantly shown just HOW tough Hillary is -- his comments speak <em>volumes</em> about what she's really up against. I'm only surprised he didn't sign himself 'americanTalibani'; perhaps he'd like to see us American women in burkas, unable to drive, hold jobs, or contribute in any meaningful way to society? ----------- Larry, appreciate your enlightening expose of why the Repubs are marketing Obama so urgently these days.
