GOP Thinks the "Dream Ticket" Would be a Fundraising Bonanza

I think the GOP is wrong:

“Fundraising from our Republican conservative base would skyrocket, in my opinion, because she’s such a divisive figure in conservative Republican circles,” said Cesar Conda, who raised over $100,000 for President Bush in 2004 and was a top fundraiser to Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) this cycle. “Putting her on the ticket would be the one thing to wake those donors up from their current doldrums.

“It would really be a godsend to McCain and the Republican National Committee [RNC],” said Conda, who will work to help McCain…

A major McCain fundraiser agreed that Clinton would help McCain fill his coffers but requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak for the campaign…

“For conservatives, the hair on the back of their necks stands up and they hear fingernails streaking down the blackboard,” said [GOP fundraiser Dan] Morgan.

“With Obama, you have to spend a lot of time explaining who he is and why he’s bad. With Hillary Rodham Clinton on the ticket, she’d be a major focal point — you can just sit back.”

You could put Satan himself on the ticket with Barack Obama and I don't think the conservative base would be inspired to give huge amounts to support John McCain. They won't get a dime out of me this year, I know that.
