One Republican's Take On Hillary in '08

I'm always cautious about reading comments by the other side about my party's chances, as I'm often suspicious that I'm being told something that they want me to hear, rather than what they truly think. But, that being said, I found Mary Matalin's comments about Hillary Clinton at a recent event she did with James Carville to be interesting:

On the prospect of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., running for president,
Carville said, "I'm crazy about her. She's a remarkable person."

Matalin agreed."As the Democrats consistently do with President Bush, they
mis-estimate him," Matalin said to laughter. "She is very smart. She's a very
hard worker, she delivers a good speech, she campaigns like mad, and I think if
anybody from my side underestimates her prowess, her power, her potential for
the presidency, they're making a mistake."


I'm still not sure that Senator Clinton being the Democratic nominee in '08 would be a good thing for the party, as compared with someone like Edwards or Bayh, but Matalin's comments are worth mulling over.
