Other Republicans for Hillary (sort of)

Rupert Murdoch, as reported by The New Republic:

But instead, to the surprise of both Clinton's supporters and her critics, the Post has embraced Clinton and helped champion many of the political victories of her first Senate term. As the New York Observer, my newspaper, first reported last summer, the Post's newfound respect for Clinton is one of several signs of a budding alliance between the Clintons and Murdoch. And Clinton's strategy for winning over the Post and her former nemesis suggests she has developed the skills to mute her bitterest critics as she looks toward the White House in 2008.

Richard Scaife, as reported by the International Herald Tribune:

Scaife, reclusive heir to the Mellon banking fortune, spent more than $2 million investigating and publicizing accusations about the supposed involvement of Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton in corrupt land deals, sexual affairs, drug running and murder.

But now, as Hillary Clinton is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, Scaife's checkbook is staying in his pocket.

Christopher Ruddy, who once worked full-time for Scaife investigating the Clintons and now runs a conservative online publication he co-owns with Scaife, said, "Both of us have had a rethinking."

"Clinton wasn't such a bad president," Ruddy said. "In fact, he was a pretty good president in a lot of ways, and Dick feels that way today."
