29. They SHOULD have let her talk to us STRAIGHT about that vote on the IWR.
There were lots of explanations, some of them reasonable, but it is hard to get beyond the distinct possibility that she supported something like a 50:50 chance of the worst things on Earth happening, because she planned to run for pResident and THAT vote was the dues to the candidate club. She wouldn't come clean about it and that was a rejection of a whole big bunch of people who Obama then scooped up.

Yes, what he did was a calculation too (you can't get into a position to do anything about some things if you ruin your chances too soon.) That was the same type of calculation as hers, but while hers was a bid for Neo-Cons and their Slaves, Obama's was a bid for a different constituency = US.
