republican Hilary

I still am worried by this Obama thing. I have no idea what these people will do. The senate is already in an uproar. I expect they will start investigating the republicans immediately for misdeeds and generally poison the post election honeymoon. And I wonder about Hilary; she has become a tragic character, ambition thwarted by ambition. I see an opportunity for her but it is drastic for ideologues (but not for the practical). She cannot become president under the current scenario. Her only hope is some national calamity that involves the leadership. But she has a choice: she could pick a public fight involving money, patriotism and xenophobia and use it to define herself as a leader above the fray, as an American leader. When she is rejected by the runaway democrats she could switch in moral outrage to the republican party and run against Obama in 2012. The Global Poverty Act is the perfect scenario: strained American taxed for foreign countries, American soldiers under foreign leadership, treaties approving gun control (trumping the constitution), approval of the disastrous Kyoto treaty. She could oppose it, implore her party to see the error of its ways and, rejected, desperately turn to the republicans as the nation's only hope for salvation. Lieberman in drag.
Palin could run as V.P..
