With primaries and caucuses beginning in what is simply a matter of weeks, we as free thinking people need to judiciously examine our choices and reflect upon our national dynamic as a whole.

There is going to be a substantial portion of the republican voting pool that is going to abandon it's party and they're going to secede for a number of reasons. Some of these people are going to be evangelicals who are leaving the party because they believe that neither the Bush Administration, nor whomever the republican nominee turns out to be, truly reflect their values. From the fumbling of domestic aid and relief to even recent attacks on children trying to engage this political process. There's also a business side of the republican party that is going to defect because of the fiscal irresponsibility of our President.

And let's face it, both of those groups will also be motivated by the war.

As the evangelicals feel out our candidates, and our unions continue to build support for John Edwards, we should be mindful of where the corporate defection heads. And this brings me to Mr. Hannity.

You see, it appears to me that the corporate heads have already hedged their bets, and it's on Hillary Clinton. This became translucent to me today as I listened to the Sean Hannity Show on the Radio today. Sean repeated two names more than any other in the forty minute span that I listened to. He gave slobbering support, sometimes with an air of a self begrudging manner, to Rudy Giuliani.

The name he uttered more often than any other was Hillary... Passionately trumpeting on about his 'Stop Hillary Express'. And why such a defensive stance? John McCain gave us his 'Straight Talk Express' and the title is forward moving, inviting, engaging. The best Sean can come up with is the 'Stop Hillary Express'?

And I began to think about why Sean has chosen Hillary to be his monster of the democratic party. Sean's passion for Hillary is nothing new, she's always been his favorite democrat.

You see, it's clear to me that Sean wants Hillary to be the democratic nominee just as much as some of you democratic supporters here. By demonizing Hillary in the sophomoric way that Sean does he is both delighting those who support the words that he is saying, and angering those who see his words for what they truly are. When he angers these people, he knowingly induces a sympathy for Hillary out of those people. It's how he can get the most response out of his listenership.

Why has Sean singled Hillary to be his DNC hopeful? She's as bought and paid for as he is. And he knows that if the G.O.P. loses the upcoming election, as it probably will, he will be better off with a Clinton presidency as opposed to an Edwards or Obama... Or for that matter a Paul.

Sean Hannity wants a Clinton v. Giuliani race because they are very similar candidates and it's his best of all possible worlds. And until it happens, he's going to keep repeating it.
