Does Clinton really think "We're in for the long haul" in Iraq will fly with Democrats?
Hillary Clinton has obviously already started running her General Election campaign. And as you can see from last night's debate...if she gets the nomination, I'll be surprised if she even mentions bringing out the troops. Sorry to tell you DU, but we've been spoon-fed a bowl of BS since the beginning of the primary season with regards to Hillary. It became clear last night that a Clinton presidency will NOT end the Iraq War. If we nominate her, it's our own stupidity.

The question now is, will the Clinton supporters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and elsewhere be effected by this? And depending on how Edwards and Obama play their cards...they can turn this into a "Clinton wants to keep us in Iraq" talking point. That could definently hurt her in the early states and abroad. But will Dem voters turn a blind eye to it?

1. And what happens if she is the nominee and the pubs surprise us
with an anti-war candidate? Or a thrid Party anti-war candidate gets in?

5. The only anti-war Republican is Ron Paul
and he's not getting the nomination. So, I'm not worried about that. But there is the possibility that if she's nominated and there's an anti-war 3rd Party candidate that pops up...that person could take Dem votes because many will feel duped by Clinton.

2. what? She said she is bringing the troops home...what is different
between her stance and Edwards? Obama's? Seriously they are all the same except Kucinich.

4. She has the implicit endorsement
campaign fund contributions and stable of "advisors" from AIPAC. Just like
Rudy Guiliani has with the so-called "Republicans". Does the grassroots
matter? Not even enough for them to talk about.
