Ickes has been using the Rev. Wright flap to persuade super-delegates that Obama can't win the GE.

Here's what Hillary is saying out in Oregon.(HT:Huffpost)

Just Unbelievable:
HRC's quote highlighted:

Obama has been credited with foreseeing a troublesome war in Iraq primarily due to a speech he gave in 2002 while he was a state senator, where he spoke out against the war.

Clinton said, "I started criticizing the war in Iraq before he did. So, I'm well aware that his entire campaign is premised on a speech he gave in 2002 and I give him credit for making that speech. But that was not a decision."

make her go away.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

Oh, no, no, I was curious about what you'd seen regarding Indiana.

She's so full of shit.

I'm involved in phone banking the state for registering to vote in the primary, May 6th. Last day to register is April 7...almost like a survey....for leaning undecideds the 3 candidates.

Maybe her vote for Kyl-Lieberman is the beginning of her opposition to the bombing of Iran.

Really, all this is going to do is remind people that Obama got it right when she got it wrong.  Personally, if my choice is between a candidate who's stupid enough to be "duped" by Junior and a candidate who's not, I'll take the latter.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to you country.

I don't for a moment believe that she was duped...she was simply willing to sacrifice a million Iraqis and thousands of Americans on the Altar of Personal Ambition. Everything she's done since (Kyl-Lieberman etc.)has fortified that impression.
