Look at Hillary run

If these last months really have seen the early moves of a future presidential campaign I'd have to say it has run pretty smoothly. Hillary's rhetoric on abortion, religion and now "extremism" will likely be repeated by her for the next four years. She's building a case, methodically, bit by bit, and simply denying that she is the frontrunner isn't going to stop her (cough, edwards, cough).

..oh yes, and then there's Arthur Finklestein, and his chauvinisticlly named Stop Her Now campaign. He apparently hopes to nationalize Hillary's Senate reelection, and convince Republicans nationwide to donate money to stop her so as to prevent an eventual presidential bid which I guess there worried she might actually win! This is the same approach Lazio and Rudy tried last time, but now Hillary is at %70 approval and the Republicans can't find anyone to run against her. Also, one wonders, who came up with the idea of announcing Finklestein's new 527 a day after it was revealed Finklestein recently married another man in Massachusetts. Is that the kind of thing that inspires Republican giving?
