President Bush and his top strategist, Karl Rove, say Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will be tough to beat in the Democratic presidential primaries of 2008 — but not in the general election.

The K Street/Dem money folks are absolutely salivating over the commissions they will earn with a Hillary Candidacy...

They KNOW she has enormous baggage, and has little, if any chance to win, but they could care less, as long as they get thier cut of the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS that will flow into her from every Union and Lib group on the PLANET!
(Remember, 1/3 of 2004's DEM 527 money came from OVERSEAS!!!!)

Hillary would be the best thing for us. I can't think of one Red state that she could turn. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty confident that should she run...she'll lose in Pennsylvania. That alone would give the GOP candidate 307 electoral votes.

Interesting tidbit at the end of the article...

***

As for the 2006 congressional elections, Rove was upbeat.

“Republicans will keep the House, Republicans will keep the Senate,” he predicted. “The question is, what will be the margin? Will we gain a couple of seats? Will we lose a couple of seats? Will we lose more than a couple seats? I’m frankly very optimistic.”

This will rally some of the libs to Hillary.

It will solidify her nomination.

It will also solidify Dem defeat in 2008.
