My latest column at Townhall is called Should Conservatives Really Want to Run Against Obama?. Here's an excerpt from the column,

If Hillary manages to claw her way back from oblivion to capture the Democratic nomination, that act in and of itself will significantly strengthen her candidacy.

After all, Hillary doesn’t have much more experience than Barack, doesn’t have great national security credentials, and is perceived, correctly, with having accomplished almost nothing in her adult life without her husband carrying much of the load. But if she has the tenacity to overcome Barack Obama in a race where the mainstream media and many of the elites in her own party have aligned against her, many Americans would give her a certain amount of much needed credit for toughness, grit, and for showing grace under fire. Even most Clinton-loathing conservatives would be willing to admit at this point that if it came right down to it, they’d rather have her handling national security issues and phone calls at 3 AM than Barack Obama.

These facts have not been lost on Democrats, who in a recent Fox News poll, said Hillary would be a tougher opponent for McCain than Obama by a 48% to 38% margin. Additionally, the latest polls from Gallup, Rasmussen Tracking, and FOX News all show that Democrats now prefer Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama as a candidate.
