The respected reason to oppose Hillary

I see a lot of angry threads posted by people who are upset at Hillary mainly for one reason, her vote for the Iraq war.

And I respect them.

IMHO, this is the most respectable and principled reason to oppose her and I can understand this point of view.

On most other issues Hillary is very strong and basically a liberal (though carefully done in disguise to make her acceptable for a broader group than just liberals)

I am one Hillary supporter who has never defended her on this point of her war vote, and agree it was a terrible mistake. No, there is no wiggle room here, she made a big blunder on this vote.

WAs it bad enough to completely disqualify her from the presidency, I don't think so personally, but I can see how some could feel yes, it was.

So now it remains to be seen if this vote will cost her the nomination.

I think this is a major factor in her having the passionate opposition and Obama's rise.
