If Barack had been wrong about the war in 2002, it would have hurt his chances to be elected as a Senator in 2004. His position was a risky one for his political future in Washington. Illinois is a purple state. It is not a state that nearly automatically sends Democrats to the Senate like New York is now. On top of that, Hillary would not have been up for reelection for another four years. It was either her presidential ambitions that guided her, in which case she is a cravenly ambitious person. Or she thought the war was a good idea, in which case she is stupid. Or maybe it was both. Who knows? Who cares at this point? She would have to win PA by 90 points to have a chance to beat Obama anyway, so this is all academic.
