Bringing up of the IWR vote again is not good for Hillary Clinton
Hillary has benefited from the fact that for a long while now...the Iraq War and her vote to support it, hasn't been a big topic of discussion. It was much easier for her to say "If I had known then what I know now..." months ago when you had other former voters of the war also running. Now that the race is down to two people...the spotlight will be put on her much more and the fact that she still can't say she made a bad decison LIKE EVERYONE ELSE won't sit well with a lot of fence-sitters. Obama owned her on the Iraq war discussion...and that is how the media will frame it. Don't tell me about some damn focus group of a handful of people as proof that voters don't care about this. Obama looked VERY STRONG in that 2nd half of the debate and finished well.

1. I agree ...she can't even apologize to the families of the troops who have died
and mean it if she is not sorry for voting for the invasion of a sovereign nation over OIL

2. It only hurts her with "progressives". They wouldn't vote for her anyway.
In the end the Dems have two foes in elections, freepers & "progressives".

Ok, well, as long as the primary voters select candidates that those "progressives" can't stomach KNOWING that those candidates won't get the progressive vote, those primary voters only have themselves to blame when they lose the presidency yet again by a small margin.

5. They end up voting for Camejo or some other nitwit every time.

Nobody caters to them except DK & they don't like him either.

4. It only hurts her with "progressives".
But the Hillary supporters claim Obama is more "conservative" than Hillary.

You guys need to get your stories straight.
