And her concrete plan to withdraw all combat troops within 6 months of inauguration day. You're right she's way better on the war than Obama.




P.S. I was an Edwards Supporter and would have liked nothing better than to be able to cast my vote for him here in PA. But that isn't the choice I have. It isn't the choice WE have. We do have a choice between someone who spent his whole life in the trenches organizing when he could have been making 6 figures to start at almost any large law firm as a former head of the Harvard Law Review. A man who fought, and WON, legislative battles at the state level only one of which resulted in the law mandating video taping of ALL police interrogations (over the objections of everyone form blood thirsty hang 'em high death penalty lovers to police, to the anti-death penalty folks on the left). Yeah he's the guy who Co-authored ethics reform while the other remaining candidate, despite being duped on the RAUF, STILL voted for Kyle-Lieberman.

And what did the other candidate do? Well she sat on corporate boards, including Wal-Mart, has 8 years of experience in elected office from a state she never lived in until she decided she wanted to run for Senate, got duped into making a vote she regretted but not enough to not make essentially the exact same vote four years later, and in her eight years in office never took a stand ever that might slow her march to the White House --- Oh yeah and through her high handed handling of the one policy initiative she actually gets to take credit for during her husband's administration, had a hand in failed health care reform. Every single one of her other "accomplishments" were actually accomplishments of her husband.

When I voted for Bill Clinton (twice) I was Voting for HIM as President, and HE accomplished a lot. She doesn't get to take credit for what he did. Don't get me wrong, when she was elected to the Senate I had high hopes for her. I knew that she had to be a person of immense personal strength and will to have weathered the storms she did. I thought that personal strength would make her a bull dog for the people. Unfortunately her better nature was subsumed by her ambition, and the bull dog was muzzled in the service of political expedience and calculation. Her experience is smoke and mirrors and coat-tail riding. And Obama's accomplishments (and mistakes) are his own. He is not the messiah and he is not perfect, but he stands on his own two feet. And YES one of the tools he no doubt used to accomplish the things he has is is power to inspire and bring people of differing points of view together long enough to see the big picture and the wisdom of making the changes he backed.
