Freshmen Dems Question Hillary's Electibility

Robert Novak may be a complete ass, but occasionally he reports things that others don't, and sometimes it makes sense. In honor of one of these occasions, I submit this recent quote from an article on Human Events:

"Many of the Democratic congressmen who ousted Republicans in marginal House districts last year privately express concern about the impact on their re-election prospects if Hillary Clinton is nominated for president.

Because of the strong possibility that Sen. Clinton indeed will be the party's candidate, these congressmen will not openly express their fears. But they dread her impact from the top of the ticket.

Clinton's opponents don't raise the question in public. But there is such underground talk in Iowa, the state opening the battle for convention delegates, questioning her "electability.""
