There is a reason Bill is sweet talking about McCain, it's all about fucking with republican heads

[Herman Munster]

As usual people here on DU play checkers, the Clinton's play Chess. Saying nice things about McCain damages his chances in the Republican primary and makes Romney more popular among conservatives. Romney has already seized on Clinton's comments to attack McCain.

Stumping for his wife in South Carolina, Bill Clinton said Hillary and McCain got along just famously.

"She and John McCain are very close," Clinton said, according to CNN. "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."

Not surprisingly, Romney's camp has already seized on the remarks and blasted them out to reporters.

And just as predictably, a link to the story also now sits atop Drudge.

This is not what John McCain needs going into a Republican-only primary in Florida Tuesday just as he's trying to prove his conservative credentials to those in the party's base who are still hesitant.

6. The same DUers that have been saying that we need to get rid of McCain...

8. Or maybe he's just a motormouth

After Bill's cozying up to the Bushes, his endorsement of McCain is also going to alienate Democrats.
