Judging Hillary by Her Enemy (Juan Cole)
"Wesley Clark Conference Call," by Juan Cole, Informed Comment, 4 April 2005, http://www.juancole.com/2005/04/wesley-clark-conference-call-wesley.html.
Earlier I blogged that the Democratic Underground's hatred for Hillary is reason enough to vote for her. Well, Juan Cole has joined the Leftists-Against-Hillary-Who-Are-So-Embarrasing-They-Make-You-Want-To-Vote-For-her Conspiracy
If the Democratic Party has any sense, it will indeed go for someone like Clark (who you could imagine winning Arkansas and West Virginia against the Republican candidate) in 2008. If the Dems go for Hilary or someone else with that profile, the red/blue split will look in 2008 exactly as it did in 2004, barring some huge disaster that befalls the Bush administration in the meantime. Plus Hilary has started giving that disgusting standard AIPAC stump speach that Fritz Hollings told us is distributed to you as soon as you get elected to Congress. Now that AIPAC is under investigation for espionage for the Likud Party, maybe someone in the US political establishment can finally start standing up to them and pointing out that what's good for Likud isn't necessarily good for Peoria (or even for Israel, more to the point)
Now, to win Hillary Should have a Right balance on the ticket -- someone who can calm conservative fears while she wins over the nation with her hawkishness... Clinton / Thune 2008?
