GOP hawks agitating to 'Swift-boat' Clinton

Although GOP hawks are preparing to 'Swift-boat' Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), the Democratic presidential candidate believes that she knows how the "Republican machine" thinks and can stop them, according to an article in Saturday's L.A. Times.

"Old enemies of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton are out in force," Stephen Braun writes. "Just weeks after she joined the Democratic Party's flock of presidential contenders, Clinton is being targeted by conservative and Republican-allied activists intent on derailing her campaign before the start of next year's primaries."

Braun reports that "a flurry of planned projects" include "a Michael Moore-style documentary film, book-length exposes, and websites such as StopHerNow.com and StopHillaryPAC.com."

"Conservative admirers of the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth media blitz that helped torpedo Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential candidacy in 2004 are now agitating to 'Swift-boat' Clinton," Braun writes.

The paper reports that one Dallas business man, Dick Collins, "gave $135,000 in StopHerNow.com seed money," and also "donated $10,000 to GOP presidential hopeful Rudolph W. Giuliani's political action committee."

unlike kerry though, you'll see a very robust and legally lethal counter attack by the clinton camp when the wingers make thier pathetic move.

one guy in her camp that will be a key player in counter strategy will be ole bubba himself. her husbands previous experience in campaign counterpunch tactics will give her quite an edge.
