McCain’s Pick May Foster Bigger Campaign Role for Clinton
Source: NY Times


ST. PAUL — Advisers to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Sunday that Senator John McCain’s selection of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate would lead to a greater role for Mrs. Clinton as she campaigned this fall on behalf of her former rival, Senator Barack Obama.

Mrs. Clinton’s friends said she was galled that Ms. Palin might try to capitalize on a movement that Mrs. Clinton, of New York, built among women in the primaries. And Democrats used strong words on Sunday to rebut the notion: Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts said that women would not be “seduced” by the Republican ticket, and Guy Cecil, the former political director of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, said it was “insulting” for Republicans to compare Ms. Palin to Mrs. Clinton.

But, I digress. I'm sure Sen. Clinton will do if she feels it is necessary! After all, she is a GREAT Democrat. :D

2. THIS is why

Palin has backed off the HRC talk...we're hitting them back. We're calling bullshit on her. Its now a political loser...if Palin kept prattling on about it, eventually Hillary would enter the fray, set the record straight and make Palin look like the rube she is.

Kerry's strong statement today is obviously part of the Dems plan to circumvent any notions of this bogus false feminism this lady is pandering to real feminists.

4. Right, and she already got the media hype that she wanted from doing it once.
She doesn't need to alienate any of her right wing followers by doing it again.
