I am convinced that the Hillary campaign reached the conclusion that it was necessary to moderate the antiwar rhetoric weeks ago. They knew from their own polling that they needed to abort the moonbat position.
also, by autum 2008, the war in Iraq won’t matter.
They began to pressure the MSM to moderate and it did. this moderation will continue. Hillary and surrogates will lead the way
it is creepy to see the liberal media react in lockstep to new marching orders
somewhere there is a wizard pulling the levers
who, where, what is a mystery, but your theory is interesting
