Christine O’Donnell backs Hillary Clinton for 2012 run

Former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell's dream presidential matchup for 2012 might just be Hillary Clinton versus Sarah Palin.

O'Donnell, a Republican who rode the tea party wave to a primary upset in August, said she hopes Clinton runs and defeats President Barack Obama in a Democratic primary.

“I hope she runs for president," O’Donnell says of Clinton in an interview on “Good Morning America.”

“I would love to see her take out Obama in the primary. You know, I would even be tempted to change my registration so that I could vote for her in the Democratic primary," she added."

So is it that Clinton would be an easier opponent for a Republican nominee? “No. It's because I think right now anybody is better than Obama," she said.

But that doesn't mean O'Donnell wants to see Clinton become president. “I love everybody in the Republican side who's even considering throwing their hat in the ring, so I'd be happy with any candidate who gets the Republican nomination," she said.

That includes Sarah Palin, who she says “shoots from the hip."

O’Donnell also defends Palin’s treatment in Joe Scarborough’s Tuesday POLITICO column, where the former GOP congressman calls on Republican leaders to "man up" and speak their minds on Palin.

“When I read that it just sounded like whining to me,” she says “He didn't go after her for her policies, he didn't go after her for anything legitimate or attacking her by ability. He took a few statements that she said and took them out of context."

POLITICO Playback rounds up the best of last night's late-night television.
