Goblin, maybe, but not a balrog.

Hugh Hewitt compares Hillary! to a balrog. I don't think she's that fearsome if the Republicans come up with a good candidate. Mitt Romney, maybe.

Hillary! is positioning herself as a moderate, but she's got a vast record that demonstrates what she really thinks, as well as a link in peoples' minds with her husband's administration. It's not going to sell in Red State America.
