Karl Rove, breaking into a respectable Bill Clinton imitation on The O'Reilly Factor last night, suggested that he might be able to get Hillary Clinton to come on the show.

"I will send word that coming on The Factor is a good thing for her to do,'' Rove, chief architect of President Bush's election campaigns, told host Bill O'Reilly."You'll notice she has begun coming on Fox more frequently as the election approaches.''

Clinton is figuring out that Democratic primary voters watch Fox, too, Rove said to the delight of his host.

1. Of course some do...seen by the fact that many of Clintons supporters

are now posting information straight from right-wing sites like Newsmax. Clinton attracts all the DLC types.

[Larkspur]

2. I don't watch Fox. I listen to Stephanie Miller, who watches Fox so I don't have to.

And I watch Keith Olbermann too.

[Submariner]

3. DLC'ers, and Steph Miller for research, but not true Democrats

DLC'ers are DINO's so watching Fox news is not a surprise. The DLC head, some twerp ex-somebody from TN, is supposedly a Fox news spin-meister.

Dems need to avoid Fox like the plague and not lend legitimacy to a crap hole like Fox.

4. She definitely knows her base.

5. And that's why her negatives are so high

Obama was attacked by MSNBC and CNN on Wright far worse than Hillary ever was on anything else. He faced them head on and look at how well he's doing. Hillary just shuns them and her numbers plummet, doesn't take a rocket scientist to do the math.

6. People are still listening to this guy? Unbelievable!

[BigDDem]

7. But when Barry goes on FOX, it's brilliant!!

Hillary on FOX = BAD
Barry on FOX = Terrific!!!

[SeaLyons]

9. ...

It's incredible, isn't it.


:mad:

12. Everyone makes mistakes

He went on once. Tell me does Fox have a Clinton watch for when she'll be appearing on their Sunday morning show? They don't because she's irrelevant to them. They know Obama is the threat.

[BigDDem]

13. Yes

and totally predictable.
The savior does no wrong.

8. Oh, I thought it was for a possible team-up as McCain's VP.

:shrug:

10. They have left CNN and MSNBC

En Masse because Fox reports more Anti-Obama stuff. They don't seem to understand that if Hillary was the front runner or became the nominee Fox will turn on her faster than they can say book bag.

11. Just because some watch doesn't follow that viewers accept their opinion....

Democrats are just fair minded and try to see all sides as best they can.

[PA Democrat]

14. Both my parents are life-long Democrats and watch FOX news.

They are both voting for McCain. They both voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004. In fact since, they started watching FOX, they have not voted for a SINGLE DEMOCRAT. That was not true in the past.

Their views on everything have changed radically. I can see why Rove would encourage Democrats to watch FOX. They become Republican-voting Democrats

[kenny blankenship]

15. He means 'crossover' D primary voters watch Fox surely?

[totodeinhere]

16. Some Democrats might watch Fox in order to know what they are saying even though...

they might not agree with it. And I see nothing wrong with it. I think it's called "know thy enemy."

[GoldieAZ49]

17. it is funny that some only want to hear spin that they agree with

a free press doesn't mean just one viewpoint, diversity is the American way.

The 'opinion' shows like KO and O'rielly are NOT NEWS, they are not journalists.

[Political Heretic]

18. I truly never watch Fox news. I don't think I've ever stayed on the channel up to even 5 minutes.

[AX10]

19. We certainly are not watching those mediawhores at MSNBC...

or the supreme mediawhore, Keith Olbermann.
