Hillary the prudent

Democrats burning for the inspirational uplift of Barack Obama or the left-leaning edge of John Edwards may not be ready for an authentic moderate.

    well, let's face it

    Remember the premise that Gore was no better than Bush? That turned out well.

    Granted many of the people writing anti-Hillary columns are republicans paid to trash her and to capitalize on the looney left's paranoia that Hillary is too moderate.

    the looney fringe left doesn't care about whether they defacto give the GOP another 4 - 8 years while they behave like children as usual. Screw who got hurt by Bush the last time they pulled this crap. They just don't care .

    I think normal Democrats are going to have to pull this one together with independents and right off the fringe left if we want to the WhiteHouse in '08 and to keep Congress.

    It may be the best thing for the Democratic Party in the long run in fact.
