Bill Clinton: Hillary Clinton and John McCain are very close

[Elyse]

From CNN:

If Hillary Clinton and John McCain become their party's presidential nominees, the general election race is likely to be a love-fest. At least according to Bill Clinton.
Campaigning in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Friday, the former president brushed aside suggestions his wife would prove to be a divisive nominee for the Democratic Party, pointing out how she has successfully worked with Republicans in the Senate — including one of the current GOP presidential candidates.
"She and John McCain are very close," Clinton said. "They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they're afraid they'd put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other."
The comments may not be welcome by the McCain camp — which yesterday faced fire from several of its rivals for winning the backing of the New York Times — a longtime archenemy of conservatives.
Sens. McCain and Clinton last met publicly at an ABC debate earlier January, when presidential candidates of both parties shared the same stage. The two were seen exchanging pleasantries, and a Clinton side said she told the Arizona senator he’d done a “good job” staging a comeback in New Hampshire. He asked that she say hello to Bill Clinton for him.

I always knew she was a neo-con in sheep's clothing.

Of course, it is not remotely possible to be friends with, or respect someone who holds a different point of view than you, political or otherwise. What was I thinking? lol

Whatever. More bullshit because the Republicans aren't civilized in ANY campaign. Like mud ain't going to be flying all over the place...

I call bullshit on this, too. It's one thing for the Clintons and McCain to be friendly with each other, but it's something else to believe that if Hillary & McCain go head-to-head in the election that there won't be any mud-slinging. Because if the Clintons, or anyone else, thinks that McCain and the Republicans aren't going to go after Hillary like a pack of wolves then they're just deluding themselves.
