Reply #47: the candidate the Republicans are afraid of

[hfojvt]

versus the candidate who inspires their fundraising:

"Mr. Lazio's success with donors suggests that no matter who is on the Republican line -- mayor, congressman, school board member -- the checks will pour in because of hostility among some people across the country to the Democrat, Mrs. Clinton. And Mr. Lazio, a once-obscure congressman from Suffolk County, has readily harnessed that sentiment."

"a once obscure congressman" became a serious challenger only because so many people hated Hillary.

Even Mike Ditka was afraid to run against Obama in Illinois!
