No Hail Mary for Hillary

The final Democratic debate produces no miracles for the grouchy former front-runner. Yes, those MSNBC moderators did seem to like Obama better, but even when she's right she sounds wrong.

    Obama on Iraq

    Didn't Obama make the point that, while he may not have been in the Senate, he was running for public office at the time we invaded Iraq, so for him to take a stand against the invasion at that time was actually quite risky, given that so many elected officials, like HRC, totally caved in to Bush's fear factor. As others here have pointed out, it was obvious to so many of us, without the benefit of "inside" knowledge, that Bush was lying. I do not want to vote for someone who is such an inept judge of character--she should have known better--or maybe she did but chose the safe way of going along with the fear-mongering. And I fail to see evidence ofObama's "condescension" towards her--I see him being continually complimentary towards her while she stoops to whiny, desparate attacks on him.

    That said, Tim Russert is such a tool--his obvious delight in "getting" HRC has been obvious since her initial Senate run--he's a total sexist. Would that he would have used some of his focus to give some hardball questions to the Bush administration over the years.
