John McCain has been running like a madman for President for closing on a decade now.
But Hillary Clinton is ambitious.
Mitt Romney's entire campaign pretty much depends on Right Wing Republicans believing him when he says that the whole four years he was governor of their state he was lying to the people of Massachusetts.
But Hillary Clinton is inauthentic.
Rudy Giuliani openly courts anti-immigration racists, takes phone calls from his wife in the middle of speeches to show what a loving husband a serial adulterer can be, runs from conservative group to conservative group promising that despite his somewhat liberal record as mayor of New York City he'll be the kind of President Right Wing authoritarians will be proud to call their own, and punctuates every other sentence with the words Nine and Eleven.
But Hillary Clinton is the opportunist.
You forgot one.
John McCain's been married twice and Fred Thompson's been married twice and Rudy Giuliani's been married three times and some of them had very public affairs between marriages or during marriages, and they are the Family Values candidates because they won't let Teh Gayz get hitched.
But Hillary Clinton is still married to her cheatin' husband because she claims to love him, even though we all know that's just a ruse and she's a liar!
Damned ambitious, inauthentic, opportunistic, lying bitch.

Nice one, Melissa.
Of course, the crucial differences between Hillary and the other people in this post is that she is a Democrat, a woman, and a Clinton.
Three-way loser, to the Rabid Right.

I'm still pulling for Gore to run, but Senator Clinton gets my vote in the general election. Funny, but I was lukewarm at best toward her but all this Republican freakout is making me a card-carrying "Clintonista", whateverthefuck that's supposed to mean.

The republican hysteria over Clinton has become so surreal that it's finally become funny for me. They all sound like Grumpy from Snow White: "Wimmin is full of wicked wiles!"
"What are wicked wiles?"
"I dunno. But I'm agin' 'em."
It's going to be a long, long year.
