Great quote. I was watching a video on Islam in my class last week,and I was amazed at the similarities between fundamentalist Christians (the group the GOP wants so despartely to keep in the fold) and fundamentalist muslims. It is scary to think how much power fundies wield in the gop and how many republicans they have alienated.

If Clinton wins the nomination, all those alienated Republicans will return the to fold to defeat her. The GOP so desperately NEEDS Clinton to get the nomination if they are to have any hope of holding onto the executive branch.

I agree- the alienating power of her candidacy is their best hope. Even more scary to me than a Hillary presidency is a Huckabee presidency (shudder)

I agree. Huckabee is looking more and more like a clone of Bush. I find Giuliani the most worrisome candidate of all: he will be quite dangerous as a "unitary executive" with the unchecked power Bush/Cheney have grabbed for the executive branch, and he's fond of his cronies. Remember how he wanted to remain NYC's mayor by declaring a state of emergency post 9/11?
