Don't take anything you read in the NY Post too seriously -- Murdoch has some kind of a sweetheart deal with Hillary. For some reason, she (unlike any other democrat) gets very positive coverage.Hmm. Why would that be? One answer which occurs to me is this: The right-wing wants Hillary to be the Democratic presidential candidate in 2008. Obviously, she has to keep her present gig if she hopes to seek higher office.
Even if she doesn't run, her mere presence -- the threat that she may run -- will assure an avalanche of donations to the Republican party from Hillary-haters. Does anyone doubt that Regnery will publish at least one book about her "candidacy" -- even if her name does not appear in a single primary race? Does anyone doubt that the Clintonian menace will be Topic A in all RNC fundraising materials? If she did not exist, the right would have had to invent her.

If you do a google (rupert murdoch hillary clinton) you'll get quite a few hits with speculation on this very subject, going back at least to 2005. For example,

I suspect it's mutual opportunism more than anything else, since Hillary appears to be unbeatable in NY, at least at present. The current GOP black helicopter candidate is the *second* one to go down (the first was a "fry 'em all" Westchester DA , who's now running for AG, to replace the more or less estimable Eliot Spitzer). But who knows....
