Hillary has everything to gain by taking the high road here, and condemning the left for these attacks. All she has to do is acknowledge that extreme, hate-filled people have taken over the party under the guise of liberalism, etc. It isn't what she stands for, and its time for them to be denounced- and challenge Obama to do just that. She can trump him by taking the leadership roll here.
And she has everything to win. There is no way she's going to help Obama. And as the victim of the very same smear and sexist attacks now happening to Palin, you just know she wants payback.
It's a win win for her quietly supporting Palin behind doors at the PUMA'S house. She knows that if OsAMA wins she'll be to old to run, BUT if McCain wins, he'll probably do one term. She would have a better chance of facing Palin than trying to muscle the black messiah away from the WH.....SMART COOKIE!
