15. That's a pretty tortured speculation.
And I'm categorically against torture, even if Hillary is not.

The truth is much simpler:

Hillary is the most conservative of all the Democratic Candidates.
The Right Wing, fearing an across the board defeat in 2008, are supporting the most conservative of the Democratic candidates, and in Hillary, they have found someone they can live with. Hillary's ProBIG BUSINESS/Free Trade politics coupled with her financial ties to the HealthCare Industry, Armaments manufacturers, and Wall St ensure that nothing much will change on the Financial Front.
All perfectly logical.

There have been elections in the past when a conservative compromise candidate from the Democratic Party would have been a smart move.

2008 is not a time to compromise with Republicans by running a ProWar/AntiLABOR candidate when we could do so much better.

It is all very simple.
