The Clinton-Obama contest gets rougher
Will the battle for the Democratic nomination turn into a debate about race and gender?
By Walter Shapiro [2008-01-14]

  • Meet the Press

    Hillary's performance on Meet the Press was absolutely pathetic and imperial. In her world, no one said a thing about Iraq in 2003 that contradicted her worldview and for proof, she offers that Obama removed a speech from his website in 2005.

    No, not reaching there at all.

    I think it was on Sunday that I realized what is wrong with Clinton as a candidate: you have to take responsibility for your authorization vote beyond saying 'I take responsibility for it'. You have to admit to an error in judgement. You have to say that Democracies shouldn't give one person the authorization to go to war unless you have no other choice. You have to say 'if that makes us bad at bossing around tyrants because we have to work out these things in public instead of in private, so be it'.

    But Hillary doesn't believe those things, and I don't want to vote for someone like that.
