Hillary Watch
I notice that Hillary sent an attack dog out to condemn Senator Edwards for his anti-war remarks (see post below), particularly his calling out the "silent" members of Congress.

"In 2004, John Edwards used to constantly brag about running a positive campaign. Today, he has unfortunately chosen to open his campaign with political attacks on Democrats who are fighting the Bush administration's Iraq policy," said Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson.

2 things: 1) I suppose we can assume that she considers herself to be a member of the silent on Iraq - he didn't call her out by name - and that's an odd thing to defend so profusely; 2) Edwards was echoing the sentiment of Dr. King in his opposition to the Vietnam War and his call for action. So, Clinton's team would consider King to likewise be guilty of unfortunate political attacks? And a negative campaigner?

What exactly is the polite way to call for an end to war that's taken 6 years and ended the life of more than 3,000 US troops? What is the positive way to ask for more from reluctant elected officials, who have enabled that conflict through inaction or approval in the past?

I want to like her. Why does she make it so difficult?
