There's Hillary

As I noted minutes ago, this morning Barack Obama declared his opposition to Michael Mukasey's nomination to be attorney general. Then John Edwards quickly did the same. Though Clinton, through a spokesperson, had recently said she was troubled by Mukasey's statements on torture and executive power, she had stopped short of saying she would vote against him. The question I posed in the previous posting was this: could Hillary Clinton be far behind? The answer turns out to be, no. At mid-day, Clinton announced she will vote against George Bush's A.G. pick. It's another sign that Clinton will not give an inch—or an hour—to her opponents.

She's done this on a couple issues now (opposing war funding bills that lack timelines for withdrawal comes to mind). So is this how a candidate maintains frontrunner status? Make sure there is not an inch of difference between her and any other candidate? In a word, mimicry?
I just don't see how that can be described as leadership.

Seems like HRC is more like Bush day by day.
She can't bring her bad self to admit the vote she made to invade Iraq was a MISTAKE and she is Reich-in-line on war for Iran and torture and whatnot.
If she is the D candidate what exactly will be the difference between her and Bunnypants? National social issues does not a global difference make, eh?
