So – at what point does a rival of Hillary look at this…

One of Wall Street’s big-time Republican fund-raisers, Morgan Stanley (MS) CEO John Mack, has told BusinessWeek that he and his wife, Christy, are endorsing Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, whom they supported for re-election as senator.
Mack previously reached Ranger status in Republican campaign finance circles by raising at least $200,000 for President George W. Bush’s reelection in 2004.

as well as this…

But for those conservatives who don’t see the 2008 election as a race between good and evil, but merely a contest between rivals within the same league, I think there is a good case for participating in the Democratic nominating process…
To right-wingers willing to look beneath what probably sounds to them like the same identical views of the Democratic candidates, it is pretty clear that Hillary Clinton is the most conservative. John Edwards is the most liberal, and Barack Obama is somewhere in between.

and stuff like the Rupert Murdoch fundraiser for Hillary and start running ads asking, “If we want real change from the Bush administration… why are Democrats nominating a woman backed by all of President Bush’s friends?”
