Her enemies, and they really hate her guts, in both parties are the business as usual, corruptocrats and we work for government so you can’t fire us crowd. They will desperately try to smear her because she threatens the root of the tree for hacks in either party.

McCain/Palin threatens real change, expect torrents of slime to be thrown at them.
