I don't speak for him, but perhaps the thought was that since most (not all) politicians are corrupt in some way, so perhaps Hillary's corruptness is not all that bad.
Lesser of two evils I suppose.
What I am hearing from the Left is, "Vote for Democrats, because they're not as corrupt as Bush"
My question is, when are they going to calm down to the point that they can think clearly and rationally enough to realize that they're not running against Bush.
Traditionally,the out-going president is associated with the party and it`s new nominee,before,during and after the election.That`s the way it`s always been.
It seems as though bush is being marginalized and played down.Ronald Regan, is the person that keeps getting mentioned at debates.They all are trying to be Regan,lol.
The dynamic is different now,b/c the republican candidates are trying to avoid bush,like the plague.But the over-all dynamic that the general public has with the candidates is still the same.It`ll be interesting to see how that plays out.
Bush will be the party`s leader,and chairman for the next for years(as was Clinton).
He will be a major,if not "the" major speaker at the National Republican Convention,in Minn(though I heard rumors that he`ll be put on at a non-peek time slot).
Every single candidate(especially the nominee{Go! Wudy!} will seek his support next year,with fund-raising and appearances.
All the candidates will have to defend this guys failures and appeal to the general public.The died-in-the -wool republican is going to vote that way,no matter what).It`s the un-decided voters that are the battle.
The way the republicans(right now) are campaigning,they are trying to out-bush ,bush,and going for the really scary neo-con`s votes.
Even though it`s early and still the primary,they`re hurting themselves by doing this ,plus avoiding the Spanish and Black voters(the Univision debate,and the PBS debate,w/ Tavis Smiley), by ignoring them,was not a good idea.
It`s about bush,and those that support him, and his disastrous policies.It`ll be about bush,b/c the most of the candidates are to the right of bush,and support bush`s policies.
