Hillary's Cheerleaders

Why, all of a sudden, do we have Republican pundits like Dick Morris coming out to make the case for Hillary Clinton taking the Democratic nomination? No, this isn't a trick question -- the answer's pretty goshdarn easy.

See, they know how polarizing Hillary is. They know that Hillary's fav and unfav ratings are very close to being the same number. They know that, in order to continue controlling America and our government, all they need to do is scrap together 50.1% of the vote (they didn't even have to do that in 2000). And finally, they understand that, should Hillary be the Democratic nominee, we'd be giving them votes right from the start.

So insert yet another Republican talking head -- Frank Luntz. He knows Hillary's tough, and you better trust him because, after all, he's done "extensive focus-group research in Iowa and New Hampshire."

Their strategy is transparent: get Democrats to run with the frontrunner again and, as a result, nominate a candidate that the Republican sleaze machine can salivate over.

Unfortunately for the Repubs, once John Edwards shows all of these phonies up when he comes in first in Iowa, Hillary's going to have a massive problem on her hands -- and so is the GOP.
