O'Donnell backs Clinton for 2012 run
Politico ^ | 11/30/2010 | JENNIFER EPSTEIN

Posted on 11/30/2010 6:53:21 AM PST by FreeAtlanta

Former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell's dream presidential matchup for 2012 might just be Hillary Clinton versus Sarah Palin.

O'Donnell, a Republican who rode the tea party wave to a primary upset in August, said she hopes Clinton runs and defeats President Barack Obama in a Democratic primary.

“I hope she runs for president," O’Donnell says of Clinton in an interview on “Good Morning America.”

“I would love to see her take out Obama in the primary. You know, I would even be tempted to change my registration so that I could vote for her in the Democratic primary," she added."... frpa

>> O’Donnel is smarter then 99% of freepers! <<

Not sure I can accept your percentage estimate. But she’s certainly smarter than the large contingent who let themselves be conned into thinking she was a viable Senate candidate.

And just look at what she has accomplished:

A few months ago she was an absolute nobody, a political zero who couldn’t pay her rent and her tuition fees. Now she’s a national celebrity who probably can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars from speaking fees, a book contract or two, and multiple TV appearances.

Smart is as smart does!

Hillary loves America?

You're joking right?

Hillary was hating America before Zippo was born.

I agree. We need Obama as the Dem nominee.

Why do we want them to be able to wash their hands of the Obama years?

On the other hand, I WOULD like to see Hillary run and damage him pretty badly.

She is hoping for a showdown between Clinton and Palin, with 0bama far out of the loop. She’ll back Sarah.

Hillary is EXACTLY the same as Obama except that she is even a worse speaker. 4-8 years of having America’s ex-wife lecturing us? I cringe at the thought!

Ain't that the truth!

I don’t think Hillary hates America “AS MUCH” as Obama

I voted for Hillary in the 2008 PA Primary. I did it without the urging of Limbaugh, as I knew Obama would be a stronger candidate. I was worried about him - knew that since he was black, anything and everything would be off-limits. An absolute disaster that McCain played along with it (though I’m not sure how much better he would have been).

Even for Politico, this article is one badly written, twisted, misleading, dishonest, deceitful piece of trash.

Her qualifications are that she is a woman. How nice. We have a black president because his qualifications are that he is black. How nice. It would be even nicer if we were to vote for a candidate that knows the Constitution and its limitations.

NOBODY is as bad as Obongo, NOBODY. Clinton is a witch, but she was born here and she doesn’t despise this country.

I wouldn't recommend tying O'Donnell to Palin too tightly. Palin endorsed her for a race where the only other choise was Mike Castle. It doesn't mean you should try to attach to Palin everything O'Donnell does.

In this case, O'Donnell is actually saying that she likes Hillary Clinton. Yes, she still wants a republican to win, but she has always liked Hillary Clinton.

O'Donnell Wants Hillary Clinton Endorsement

This isn't some tricky "operation chaos" thing. It's not an "I love democrats" thing. She thinks Hillary Clinton would be a better president than Barack Obama. It's not a "pro-Palin" or "anti-Palin" statement.

On the republican side, O'Donnell doesn't seem too picky:

“I love everybody in the Republican side who's even considering throwing their hat in the ring, so I'd be happy with any candidate who gets the Republican nomination," she said. That includes Sarah Palin, who she says “shoots from the hip."

I don't really think "shoot from the hip" accurately describes Palin; it's certainly not a favorable thing to say about a candidate for President. Palin seems more of a "take aim and shoot" person.

But I don't think O'Donnell meant anything bad by it, I think she just didn't know exactly what "shoot from the hip" means.

O’Donnell has always had kind words for Hillary Clinton, and during the campaign said she would like Hillary’s endorsement.

“at least Hillary loves AMERICA not like obozo so i would vote 4 her as well”

Are you serious? You have a very short memory. Are you talking about the Hildabeast? SHE is a four letter word to me. SHE will be every bit as bad as the current dear leader. SHE may even be worse because SHE is more effective at pushing the Marxist ideology.
