Defintely, my point is this isn't a localized event. Republicans who imagine that Bush is on his own, don't get that this will be about them should they go for POTUS. McCain was very out front on Iraq. McCain kids himself he thinks he isn't gonna get collaterally hurt by this.
And so was Sen. Clinton.
Two dozen anti-war protesters camped outside the Los Angeles mansion...hoping to catch Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as she entertained donors over soba noodles and chilled fish.Dick Morris...thinks Iraq may be Clinton's biggest hurdle if she runs in 2008..."Her right foot is nailed to the floor in having to defend the Iraq war."...The war could pose problems, especially if her husband's former vice president, Al Gore, who opposed intervention from the start, jumps into the presidential race.
Anti-war groups have responded by increasingly targeting her office and campaign events. Cindy Sheehan, the bereaved mother who picketed George Bush's Texas ranch this summer, has taken on the senator with similar alacrity...Carolyn Eisenberg, a Brooklyn-based peace activist and Hofstra University professor, said anti-war groups are preparing to stage actions at Clinton events in New York during her upcoming Senate re-election campaign.
"Since Hillary and I met, at least 75 soldiers have been killed," Sheehan added. "I don't know her secret heart of hearts when it comes to Iraq. But I think she's playing politics."
