What would it take for Hillary Rodham Clinton to support a pro-lifer?

Wonder what all of those feminist donors to HILLPAC and Hillary's assorted fundraising accounts are thinking right about now about Hillary's support of Bob Casey (see below)? Casey isn't exactly their number one pick on the abortion hit parade.

What in the world would Casey do on the judicial nominations issue, I wonder. Since he is, apparently pro-life, so much so that speaking at the Democratic Convention was out of the question, then would he obey the litmus test imposed upon judicial nominees by Hillary's pals in the abortion lobby?

Has to be quite a conundrum for them, I would imagine. Not for Hillary, though, whose real agenda has little or nothing to do with the hapless Mr. Casey. She wants a fundraising list and chits and Pennsylvania has a lot to do with her dreams in 2008 so she will even support a pro-life candidate. Principle always goes out the window for the Clintons when personal ambition is the price.

Clinton To Host Fundraiser For Casey In Chicago. The Philadelphia Inquirer (4/11, Budoff, 423K) reports that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) "lends her fund-raising strength to Democratic Senate candidate Bob Casey Jr. today, hosting an event for him -- in Chicago. ... The afternoon event at Chicago's Palmer House Hilton, Clinton's first for Casey, is a sign of Pennsylvania's importance in the Democratic Party's bid this year to gain control of the Senate. Casey holds a comfortable lead over Sen. Rick Santorum (R., Pa.) in the polls, but the senator has a 2-1 fund-raising edge over his leading challenger. When asked why the campaign chose to do the event in Chicago, Casey spokesman Larry Smar said it was 'nothing out of the ordinary.' Clinton will be in Chicago today to deliver a speech at the Economic Club of Chicago." Santorum spokeswoman Virginia Davis said, "While Rick Santorum is teaming up with folks like Rudy Giuliani and Bob Dole to help with his reelection, Bob Casey is depending on liberal friends like Hillary Clinton to raise money for him. We'll take that match-up any time."
