Hillary Clinton's scorched-earth campaign against Barack Obama may not get her the Democratic Nomination but it is winning the hearts and minds of many right-wingers who only months ago were reveling in her downfall. Why?
Most now know that anything HRC can do to prolong the battle with Obama will only help McCain in the fall. Especially when she is in cahoots with the Fat Man's Operation Chaos and repeatedly apes right-wing talking points on foreign policy, and on cultural issues like guns and "liberal elites."
Hillary has shown a Nixonian resilience and she's morphing into Scoop Jackson. She's entering the culture war as a general. All of this has made her a far more formidable general election candidate. She's fighting the left and she's capturing the center. She's denounced MoveOn.org. She's become the Lieberman of the Democratic party.

Nixon, Scoop Jackson, Lieberman! Wow! Each one a war-monger to the core. Then there's this:
She's running a right-wing campaign. She's running the classic Republican race against her opponent, running on toughness and use-of-force issues, the campaign that the elder George Bush ran against Michael Dukakis, that the younger George Bush waged in 2000 and then again against John Kerry, and that Ronald Reagan--'The Bear in the Forest'--ran against Jimmy Carter and Walter F. Mondale. And she's doing it with much the same symbols. ...she is becoming a social conservative, a feminist form of George Bush.

Hillary Clinton is as cynical and empty a politician as you will ever see. Wake up you sleepy Dems, this is not the person who needs to be the first woman president! End this primary now with resounding wins for Obama!
