There is NO way that she can pull it off! LOL
I think you're right. It's great!
Actually, here's how it's going to work.
1. She vehemently opposes the port deal publicly.
2a. The port deal folds, everything gets swept under the rug, Republicans don't prosecute Willy for fear of falling poll numbers.
2b. The port deal goes through, she adamantly denies everything, the media backs her by playing the sound bites of her in "opposition" of the deal. Republicans prosecute, but get hit with the Partisan Politics card, and whomever takes up the prosecution gets dragged through the mud while the judicial review drags its heels until after 2008.
