    She's already disqualified herself

    If it was obvious to an ordinary Joe like myself in the fall of 2002/spring 2003 that invading Iraq was such a stupid idea, then what is Hillary's excuse? Her vote is either an exercise in craven political calculation or she is just as stupid as the neocons that propelled this disaster. Those are the only two explanations for her vote, and whichever one happens to be the case, we don't need another moron in the White House, or an empty suit hack with her political finger twisting in the wind. It's going to take somebody with courage and vision to begin to mitigate the damage of the past six years, and Hillary has already shown she's either too stupid or too cowardly for the job.
