Hillary to Court GOP Voters on O'Reilly Factor

With an open primary in Indiana forthcoming, Operation Chaos sounds pretty good to Hillary Clinton. Both Clinton and the GOP apparently share the common goal of seeing Clinton emerge as the Democratic nominee in Denver, or as is more likely the case, dragging the Democratic contest through the mud as long as possible. To that end, Clinton and McCain have sychronized their assault on Sen. Obama in recent weeks. Now Clinton plans to state her case directly to GOP voters in a two-day series on the O'Reilly Factor. Nevermind that the host is a hatemonger and bigot.

Why are Limbaugh, McCain and O'Reilly aligning themselves with Clinton? The answer is very simple (as we have repeatedly noted). Clinton viewed favorably and seen as honest and trustworthy by just 37% and 39% of voters respectively. In other words, McCain's chances in the general election are markedly better with Clinton as an opponent.
