McCain needs Hillary to run because that's what keeps the Republican coalition together. She helps unite the Republican base.

The more there is scandal and corruption in Washington, the better it is for McCain ... so he's at a high point right now.

They want his [fund-raising] money and they know he's good for the base.

With the likely nominations of Barack Obama by the Democrats and John McCain by the Republicans, one of these two parties is headed for a 2009 crack-up that could prove as messy as any party civil war in recent history.

The depth and breadth of Hillary Clinton's support among Democrats is daunting for other potential Democratic candidates in 2008, especially coupled with her enormous fundraising edge.

It must kill George Bush that John McCain is the most popular and Beloved Republican in America.
