Hillary Clinton Hides from Iraq Mistake in Convention Speech

by: Bob Brigham

Sat Apr 28, 2007 at 10:58:04 AM PDT


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?

The crowd response to her entry (0.00 / 0)
could be described as tepid.  The ones who seemed to be cheering were her volunteers flanking her entrance, waving signs.  It was a curious choice to talk so much about 9/11 for this crowd.  She would have done better to talk more about domestic issues, especially the environment.  She spend a decent amount of time on health care and working families.

I agree (0.00 / 0)
I felt it was the wrong message, wrong crowd.

Top-notch visual snark!  Did you make it, or find from elsewhere?

It was from the DLC convention in Columbus, Ohio that she attended instead of helping Hackett.

Truly awesome (0.00 / 0)
FYI - you've seen the SF Gate article you're quoted in, right?
