...but she was ruled out as a candidate in part because of her early support for some Bush administration programs like the domestic eavesdropping program.
Someone may have already pointed this out. I don't have time to read through 267 comments but... ummmm... errr.... wouldn't this standard eliminate Obama from consideration as well? Sure, he spoke against it as a candidate, but he voted for and spoke up in favor of the last FISA bill (which to me rates as a virtual repeal of FISA altogether). So wouldn't this standard eliminate him as well? Or does it only matter when you supported the blatantly felonious program to spy on US citizens as if you were the Kremlin?
