48. Dems would be dumb as dirt to run Hillary-- it'd be a GOP lifesaver
The Republicans are almost begging us to put up Hillary as their nominee since this would be the one thing that would unify their rapidly crumbling party. They're all so enraged at Bush for the Iraq and Katrina fiascos, the out-of-control spending, SCOTUS appointments and whatever else that apparently, RNC donations are down to something like 1/5th of their normal amount.

The GOP is on the brink of collapse. The one way to save them would be to nominate Hillary, which would indeed rally them and pull them back together again. In fact, maybe this is Dickie Boy's true hidden agenda-- he knows that a Hillary Clinton nomination by us would be the one thing to save the Republicans' sorry hides, so he's trying to induce us to go in exactly that direction. Sorry, we're not taking the bait. If we nominate Al Gore, Wesley Clark or Barbara Boxer, the Republicans are finished. They can't motivate their base anymore, and they'll just flail and fall in 2008. Keep this little bit of strategy in mind.
