Ouch. Senator Hillary devoted barely any time to Iraq in her CDP Convention speech. She didn't admit she made a mistake, even though she had the perfect opportunity. Really, I'm shocked by what she didn't say.
She had a nice laundry list, but how can she avoid the biggest issue in the race? When she finally mentioned Iraq, she lost the crowd. I really don't see how she can campaign in this environment without admitting her mistake.
Iraq is the issue and the fact Clinton refuses to acknowledge her mistake is going to dog her through the race -- ending up in every newspaper article about the race. Why is she listening to the people who are telling her this makes sense? |
