Welcome to the Blog
My general proposition in this book is that Hillary is a very formidable candidate and that Republicans and conservatives had better focus on the electoral threat she presents in 2008 or else they and the country will reap the whirlwind. The book is as much about the doldrums into which the GOP has sailed and the profound temptation already being experienced by conservatives to fracture the 2004 coalition in pursuit of doctrinal purity. If that happens, Hillary wins. So it's simple. If you don't want Hillary to be president, you're probably going to have to swallow a little hard and accept that a viable Republican candidate for the presidency is going to disappoint you in one way or another. Such is life.

About the Book
It’s the ultimate nightmare scenario for conservatives: to awaken on the morning of November 5, 2008, to the news that the last swing state has been colored bright blue and Hillary Rodham Clinton is the President-elect of the United States.
Could it really happen?
Frighteningly, yes. In fact, as bestselling author and leading conservative commentator John Podhoretz reveals, this is not just a scary “what if” scenario; it will happen . . . unless conservatives take immediate action.
Sounding the alarm bell with wit and verve, Can She Be Stopped? shows that Hillary’s plan to capture the White House is much further along than her enemies fear. Podhoretz uncovers the host of reasons why—many of them counterintuitive. He also destroys the comfortable myths about Clinton that conservatives cling to: She’s saddled with too many “high negatives.” She’s too liberal to get elected. “Clinton fatigue” will keep her out of the Oval Office. You’ve heard them all, and they’re wrong on every count.
