With a big lead in her New York Senate race and early 2008 trial heats, is Hillary Clinton continuing to try to move back toward the center? Drudge is claiming that she will support John Roberts and has a background quote supposedly bashing MoveOn.org:

Senator Hillary Clinton has confided to associates that she intends to vote FOR Bush Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Unless some unforeseen development occurs around Roberts, Clinton will throw her support behind confirmation, says a top source.

“Look, we’re not thrilled President Bush is in office and gets to make these choices,” said a top Hillary source, “but we have to make the best of the situation until the next election!”

With her support of Roberts, Clinton ignores pressure from the reactionary-activist wing of the Democrat party.

“She is simply doing what is right for the country, not MOVEON.ORG,” the Clinton insider explained.

Given what Drudge did to Clinton in the 1990s, it would certainly be ironic if her campaign is actually leaking to him now. But given Drudge’s standards of “journalism,” this might be complete garbage. We’ll see.
