Here’s an idea we wish we had ourselves, first: the Clinton/Palin Consensus Series, a running series of articles that www.Conservatives4Palin.com intends to publish detailing areas Governor Sarah Palin and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have in common.

We look forward to every edition — and plan on writing some of these ourselves, which we’d love C4P to cross-publish.

Honestly, we should have thought to do this months ago.  One of the most frequent things concern-trolls do around here is leave little stink bombs in comments saying, “Oh, we love Hillary too.  And we know people who like Palin, but we just don’t understand how people can like both because they are so far removed from one another ideologically that their supporters shoud be natural enemies”.

Remember, the definition of a concern-troll is someone who first says they agree with you, so that they get the comment through moderation…but then they put in the little nuggets that try to divide people or attack Hillary in subtle ways.  We have been dealing with these trolls for almost two years now at this point.  One of their favorite points of comment post-election has been our unending support for Governor Palin while maintaining our loyalty to Hillary Clinton.

The only, and we mean ONLY way we’d back off our vocal support of Palin would be if she and Hillary Clinton were going to face-off in the 2012 presidential race.

We actually see the rise of Sarah Palin as one of the pressure points that could force Dr. Utopia not to seek a second term, which would hand the nomination on the Dems side to Hillary Clinton.  If Utopia sees he’ll be beaten by Palin, with her becoming the first female Republican presidential nominee, then Democrats would sure be smart to dump Mr. HopeyChangey and let a grown up take the 2012 race…nominating the first female on the Democrats’ side, too.

And don’t concern-troll about gender identity politics here.  Hillary Clinton happens to be the most qualified Democrat to run for president in 2012, and that’s including the current occupant of the White House.  At the same time, yes it is very much indeed time a woman holds this office.  We want to see a woman president.

Would we help Claire McCaskill, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Jennifer Granholm (if she was legally allowed to run), Janet Napolitano, Kathleen Sebelius, or other women we either don’t like or don’t think have done well in their jobs recently, just to get a woman president?

No.

Not on your life.

We would rail against the misogyny and sexism they’d women would receive for daring to run for president, though.  That, we would do.  But we’d have to believe in and genuinely like the candidate to put another two years of our lives and all of our money on the line to work for another campaign.

We’d do it for Hillary in a heartbeat.

We’d do it for Sarah too.

And we don’t think we’re alone in this.

C4P is proving that with its Consenus Series, of which we not only look forward to reading with great interest, but hopefully can contribute to from the moderate Dem side of things.
