Christine O'Donnell: Hillary Clinton for President in 2012

On ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, Christine O'Donnell threw her support to an unexpected - and seemingly uninterested - potential 2012 presidential candidate: Hillary Clinton.

"I hope she runs for President," O'Donnell told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, adding that she would even consider becoming a Democrat in order to have the opportunity to vote for her.

"I would love to see her take out Obama in the primary," O'Donnell said. "You know, I would even be tempted to change my registration so that I could vote for her in the Democratic primary."

The former Delaware Senate candidate emphasized that her hopes for a Clinton 2012 candidacy were derived not from the belief that the secretary of state would be easier for Republicans to beat than President Obama, but because she would make the better candidate.

"Right now I think that anybody is better than Obama," she said. "It was a bittersweet moment when he got elected, because it was a real mark towards healing of our divided past, but the vote that we changed for was not to change America but to change Washington - and his policies are radically changing America and everything that she stands for."

O'Donnell, the controversial Tea Party member who rose to prominence this fall after a surprise victory in Delaware's Republican Senate nomination, Tweeted her support for Clinton on Monday after the Secretary of State made comments condemning the recent WikiLeaks document release.

"Some may cringe when I say this but Hillary-You Go Girl!" O'Donnell wrote on her Twitter account. The Tweet continued: "She's no Reagan yet her verbal lashing against wikileak is tough- watch out Obama!"

"I thought that she was tough," O'Donnell explained on "Good Morning America," of the pro-Clinton commentary. "I said she was no Reagan because I'd like to see her take it even a step further and say that these leaks are gonna be charged with treason."

Clinton has repeatedly dismissed the notion that she is interested in future presidential bids, despite some speculation to the contrary.

Regardless of her call for Clinton to jump into the race, O'Donnell emphasized her support for Sarah Palin, and said accusations that the former Alaska governor lacked the experience to be president were unfair.

"Sarah shoots from the hip," O'Donnell said. "I love what Rudy Giuliani said, that people just dismiss that Sarah Palin right now has more executive experience than Barack Obama did when he stepped into the Oval Office. People are ignoring that and trying to disqualify her, and mischaracterize her because she is someone who shoots from the hip."

BS from the tea party. That's the Palin kiss of death for our country if Hildawg lost..

My God. Not only do we have to survive the daily Palin Pulse, but now every time ODonnell farts we have to care about what she thinks too?

Come on. There have to be some measures of newsworthiness before printing this garbage.

Who knew a Tea Party darling could be a RINO! What delicious irony!

Dear Lord, please save us from the return of witchy woman O'Donnell...I guess Sarah is still coaching her about living off public appearances, etc versus getting a real job. She must have spent all of her campaign donations already.

Dear Sirs,
In some states we have closed, instead ofopen, primaries precisely because Democrats do not like Republican dirty tricks being used to sabotage the Democratic process.
Remember Watergate?
Limbaugh's Texas Two-Step?
Whoever gets the democratic primary has my vote!

Democrats do the same thing. How do you think John McCain became the Republican nominee?

Dear Sirs,
Some states have closed, instead of open, primaries because those states do not want Republican dirty tricks used to deliberately botch the Democratic process.
Remember Watergate?
Remember Limbaugh's Texas Two-Step?
By process of elimination, whoever gets the Democratic primary gets my vote!

I hope Christine had a nice vacation. Good to see her back. I was fearful she would fade from the scene and never be heard from again.

Again..............

ghhugh,

I was glad to see her back also. She has so much talent and is impressive. It was too bad the full party could not get behind her but cut her off because she beat one of their "good old boys" in a fair primary.

"Sarah shoots from the hip", O'Donnell said. Shes got that right! Sarah does SHOOT from the HIP. If she ever figures out how to THINK from the BRAIN she might have a chance to at least to run for an office somewhere but, not president. O'Donnell is a loser and she probably hates Obama because she realizes that there's no remote possibility that she'll ever be in his position and wouldnt be able to handle it if she was. The fact is that no Republicans or Tea Party candidates have solutions for the economy. The Republicans have nothing to offer except hot air and snake oil. They will do nothing and stand in the way of everything.

Shooting from the hip is how people shoot themselves in the foot, Guitfiddel...

Sarah Palin is living proof of that.
