OK, she gets Lou Dobb's vote, and maybe yours. What about the other 5 or 6?
"if the Republicans...put up someone who can't deflect her arguments on free trade, they'll be unpleasantly surprised in 2008"
I happen to think the Republicans can win with free trade--they've done it before--but they have to put up someone who can make a case for their position, instead of trying to dance around it like a Rat. Especially when they know it will be her issue as far as the 'idiots' are concerned. Some Republicans have demonstrated that they understand this and are quitting the free trade and open border ranks (Newt Gingrich, for example, is making noise on this). I don't LIKE these candidates, necessarily, but I do think they're being smart in trying to mute this issue.
In the meantime, I cordially invite you to rethink your comments. There are plenty more than 5 or 6 voters who will be motivated by a protectionist stand, especially one that deals with immigration at the same time. Our concern should be that they'll end up voting for a woman whose sole goal in extending protectionism and closing down immigration is to concentrate her power here.
So feel free to make another smartass comment about Lou Dobbs. But you'll be laughing out of the other side of your face if Hillary is elected because people like you nominate a Republican candidate who can't persuade the public regarding these issues, around which Hillary seems to planning her candidacy, and which the media will certainly highlight.
