Elizabeth Edwards Defends Hillary

Elizabeth Edwards recently told Time magazine,


"I do not think the hatred against Hillary Clinton is justified. I don’t know where it comes from. I don’t begin to understand. But you can’t pretend it doesn’t exist, and it will energize the Republican base. Their nominee won’t energize them, Bush won’t energize them, but Hillary as the nominee will."

While it was nice of her to defend Hillary Clinton for once, her agenda is, of course, to try and bring Hillary down so her husband can rise. It's true that the Republican base will rise up against Hillary should she get the nomination. However, just because that's true, it doesn't mean that we should someone who isn't the best nominee (like John Edwards for example) to go up against the Republicans. Hillary is the best qualified candidate and she will take on any attack Republicans throw at her. It wouldn't be the first time.
