It's clear the reactionary old boys club is ready to let a woman do their work for a change. In fact the most radical of the right wing media is warming up to Hillary. The people that brought us George Bush have a new candidate in mind and the LA Timesreveals the depth of their ability to absorb change in accepting Hillary.
Its quite clear the likes of neo-conservative guru Kristol and the National(ist) Review editors fawning over Hillary as the best choice are not representative of the average Republican. They are the shepherds and this is their direction for their flock:
From the LA Times
Sen. Clinton is rapidly becoming not merely acceptable to many right-wingers but possibly even their candidate of choice.
Listen to Kathryn Lopez, editor of National Review Online, who was blogging live during the AFL-CIO Democratic debate Tuesday in Chicago: "In response to more than a few answers tonight -- on Iraq, on China -- I've said, 'She sounds reasonable.' "
Lopez wasn't being facetious. She seemed, in fact, disturbed by her unexpected positive feelings toward Clinton. "That's really hard to admit," she wrote. "I still have both 'Clinton Hater' and 'Vast-Right-Wing Conspiracy' cards in my wallet."
Lopez needn't worry. Her boss, National Review Editor Rich Lowry, also has had strangely respectful thoughts lately about Clinton. In a July 27 column, he expressed genuine admiration for her political skill, especially in managing to placate the left wing of the Democratic Party on Iraq without repudiating her vote for the war nor making herself patently unacceptable as a potential commander in chief. It was "brilliant politics," Lowry conceded.
Clinton's unwillingness to pander to her own party's base on Iraq has won her grudging respect from another unlikely source as well: William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard. On Aug. 7, he was quoted in the Washington Post saying that compared with Sen. Barack Obama, who is trying to energize the left to raise his falling poll numbers, she is looking quite presidential.
"Obama," Kristol said, "is becoming the antiwar candidate, and Hillary Clinton is becoming the responsible Democrat who could become commander in chief in a post-9/11 world."
Will we let a candidate endorsed by the neo-conservatives capture both parties nominations this year? Don't let this happen!
