In Defense of Hillary

energize the GOP like they've never been before.

Like never before? That's a pretty strong statement. Actually very strong. Once again I suffer the sin of not being politically conscious pre-1998 and fail to understand why she is any more polarizing than any other Northeastern liberal. So, she supports universal health care. So do a lot of people.

Yes I hope she runs... and wins, though I wouldn't mind Bayh either

Hillary is hated by the right because of what she symbolizes, not what she believes.  She is seen as a first lady that felt she was elected as co-President.  Couple this upending of traditional views of the first lady with a traditional view of the role of women and this explains conservative revulsion to Hillary Clinton.

Ok. Then, you have to give libs in general credit for not being extremely revolted at Laura Bush. She does not seem to be a polarizing figure at all.
