"...because she fears a Sharpton challenge in the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary..."
Now THAT is funny!!!!
The person she fears in the 'Rat primaries is Algore. But I think the Clintonistas will rearrange the primary process to make it nearly impossible for anyone but Hitlery to get the nomination.
Not really. if she has a serious battle with Sharpton, there may be residual rancor among the AAs which will hurt her in the primaries (where she can't get the MoveOn crowd against an antiwar leftist candidate), and later in the General if its a white woman against a black woman.
