Instead, she criticized Arizona Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee in all but name. "We have tried it President Bush's way," she said, "and now the Republicans have chosen more of the same."

Not a smart thing to say, Hillary. Don't you want to be on his short list of VP nominees?

I'm not so sure about that, maybe she's courting FReeper votes, seems a lot of freepers would rather wake up to the Obamination ceremony than live with mccain

Wrong, Hillary.

Obama's strategy would have lost the war by now. Your strategy would be losing the war right now. McCain's strategy IS winning the war right now.

McCain 14 months ago:

Published December 27, 2006 ..... Novak: McCain's 'aggressive surge' stance backfiring ........ conservative columnist Robert Novak suggests that Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) "aggressive" push for a U.S. troop expansion -- or "surge" -- in Iraq may be costing the top 2008 GOP contender in the polls, especially when matched against another presumed front-runner, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY). "The decline in the polls of [McCain], as measured against [Clinton], reflects more than declining Republican popularity ......... "It connotes public disenchantment with McCain's aggressive advocacy of a 'surge' of up to 30,000 additional U.S. troops to Iraq

"I understand the polls show only 18 percent of the American people support my position. But I have to do what's right, what I believe is right and what my experience and knowledge and background tells me is the right thing to do in order to save this situation in Iraq ... In war, my dear friends, there's no such thing as compromise. You either win or you lose." - Sen. John McCain's reaction to the Iraq Study Group Report, 2006
