Hillary is the Dems hope in 2008? Egads!

Well,  to be fair, Dems weren't exactly planning on taking Texas in the next presidential election. But the fact that in the Texas Hillary is equated with Hitler does not bode well.

Take this example of tit-for-tat Hillary-pillory: Texas Hates Hillary

The campaigns of Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, widely expected to be opponents in next year's GOP gubernatorial race, are taking political shots at each other over apparently friendly relationships with liberal Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
 Last week, Perry's campaign circulated a video that showed the conservative senator speaking kindly of Clinton, and now a 1993 letter has emerged in which Perry called Clinton's health care reform efforts "commendable."
 "It's a double standard. It's the ultimate in hypocrisy," said Hutchison campaign manager Terry Sullivan.

Of course, Hutchison is just pointing out the Republican dirty tricks that Texans are all too familiar with.

But let's not kid ourselves. Hillary is radioactive in the South - no matter how many video tapes are unearthed showing politicians saying "kind" words about her.
