Underestimating Hillary's Support
[NRO Staff 05/12 01:44 PM]
An e-mail:  
Ive noticed several posts on various NRO blogs over the last few days about Hillarys lack of support from left-wing extremist, Daily Kos-types. I think its very important not to ever count on this apparent lack of support when Election Day rolls around. One thing Ive learned from liberals: just because they truly and wholly believe something today with every fiber of their being and will fight until the last breath in their body to defend it, doesnt mean theyre going to feel that way tomorrow. In fact, its almost a definite that theyre not. Working for a national television station, Im almost constantly surrounded by liberals. During the run-up to the 2004 election, not one of the 20-plus liberals in my immediate work area was supporting John Kerry. There was a Howard Dean group and a Wesley Clark group. John Kerry was the joke of the group, ridiculed for among other things his motorcycle stunt on the Tonight Show. To a person, every liberal claimed that there was no way they could ever vote for that man. However, when it came right down to it, every last one of them voted for Kerry. To say a liberal wouldnt vote for Hillary Clinton because of some principle fails to recognize that liberals have no principles, at least none that last more than a few days.
