Hillary sounds so premeditated

any Dems ever wish Edwards ever tried to be a Senator, got re-elected and was running now as a second-term Senator now?  it's still easy to fall in love with him and if he had a great resume he'd be unstoppable.

Not sure he would've been re-elected to be honest. I think Edwards thought that was a big enough of a challenge not to risk it.

if he had been devoted to his job instead of running for president from day 1 he would have been re-elected without a major fight.

Watching the debate now;

It is clear that anyone who accuses Hillary of being "pro-war" is outright lying.

The point is that she was firmly in Bush's corner on the war until fairly recently, so it greatly detracts from her crediblity on this issue.  She flip-flopped on this issue later than any other candidate (while Obama and Kucinich opposed the war from the start).

Oh come on, if Obama had been in the Senate at the time, he would have supported the war, don't be silly.  It's really easy for him to say that he opposed it now, when no one cared what some random IL legislator thought in early 2003.

Obama said in an interview in December 2002 that he would have voted "no" on the resolution.
