The Good Hillary of the North: Sarah Palin

Think about it: This woman has everything the Democrats loved most about Hillary Clinton (OK, that basically boils down to a pair of X chromosomes, but still, she's got 'em.)

In addition to that, she's got a serious brain on her, and then again she's got a big brass clanking pair of . . . uh . . . courage and conviction. Yes, that will do.

She does have the disadvantage that she didn't make her way in life by marrying a promising young law student and make a Governor out of him, choosing instead to run for Mayor and then Governor herself. And win. And govern pretty well. (I've already seen one MSM reference to her "tiny, out-of-the-way state." I guess it's not flyover country if there's nowhere the news anchors want to visit on the other side of you.)

So now we've got the Scarecrow and the Tin Man (you figure out which is which) hoping they've dropped a big enough house on the Wicked Hillary of the East, because if they didn't get her good, her vast army of flying Democrat monkeys might still exact revenge.

Meanwhile, the Wizard has just joined forces with the Good Hillary of the North, and I for one feel a little better about his chances.
