street smarts

hillary's heart and head are in the right place, but i don't think she's oval office material.

she, like john kerry, voted bush authority to go to war in iraq. kerry's reason for it—in essence, to pressure saddam to let inspectors in—makes sense on its face, but he lived thru vietnam and knew of tonkin gulf and the pentagon papers. bush-cheney-rice & company had been beating the war drum for months before the vote, so no senator should've needed a cpa to put 2 and 2 together to read the admin's telegraph of where they were headed.

that's why the dems should've nominated dennis kucinich, one of the few legislators who saw thru the white house smoke screen. but of course that became impossible once "electable" became the rallying cry that carried kerry thru the primaries.
