Hillary Gets a Seriously Bad Case of the Stupids

Brian Zick

Kos reports that Hillary Clinton's stubborn refusal to simply acknowledge that she made a mistake in voting to authorize Bush to go to war with Iraq may now have already cost her the nomination. Kos quotes from a story by Patrick Healy in the NY Times: “If the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or has said his vote was a mistake, then there are others to choose from,” Mrs. Clinton told an audience in Dover, N.H., in a veiled reference to two rivals for the nomination, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina. As Kos notes, "Thank you, Hillary. I think I will."
