<edit>
Clinton is the candidate of the status quo, something that conservatives, by definition, are supposed to uphold, Kirchick writes.
Hillary Clinton is the one person standing between America and the abyss, he says, seeing her as a mealymouthed centrist candidate with better conservative credentials than the alternatives.

Kirchick is a hawkish pundit and fellow at Foreign Policy Initiative, a neoconservative think tank where leading neocons Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan sit on the board of directors.
Kagan, who served as foreign policy adviser to Republican Sen. John McCain in his 2008 presidential campaign and has been described as the neoconservative movements chief foreign policy theorist, has also strongly come out in support of Clinton.
