Can someone explain to me why is Pat Buchanan so in favor of Hillary

I find it very troubling coming from a guy who has nothing to do with the party politics and is in my opinion almost borderline racist. Every time this guy speaks about the race on our side he down plays Obama possibly winning and sticks up for Clinton.

2. Two reasons

1) He thinks the GOP will destroy Hillary.
2) He hates to think a black man of Kenyan origin might be the next president. That is killing him.

3. Because she is the juiciest target.

Easy to hit.

The 'pubs are going to struggle with any other candidate.

Clinton will energize much more of their now-disaffected base.

4. He's said it many times on MSNBC, et al. She will unite the repubs and make them fight.

She will also bring independents to the repubs as opposed to the dems...
he toots her horn for that reason.

5. Nothing to do with party politics?

The guy's the epitome of the Washington insider. He grew up there. He used to be at everyone one of Ben and Sally's freakin' parties.

He wants Hillary because the Repukes have a ready-made playbook to beat her. There's no ready-made playbook for Barack - though one is certainly being developed.

6. just about the opposite of what's been posted - O is the prefered by GOP one - Edwards the feared on

policy, and Hillary the feared on effectiveness - at least that is the way it is in the Boston/New York/Washington management conversations that I've had of late or have heard of from the same area - I obviously don't know squat about whats being said outside my little circle - but in that circle it sure is not what is being posted.

7. If you can explain why Chris Matthews

has such a man-crush on Obama. Or Russert, or Joe Scarborough.

8. because of the skin color of Obama & Richardson

and he doesn't know that Edwards is running because the media won't cover him.

10. Buchanan is one of those old time beltway bandits...

As a youth(from his biography), he and his brothers used to cruise Washington in their Dad's Oldsmobile(Dad loved Oldsmobiles)at night and look for minorities, blacks preferred.

When they found one, they stopped the car and would gang up on the poor guy and beat the shit out of him.

Yup, thats Buchanan. Don't think he cares much for southerners either.

His sister Bay is just like him.
