This is HILARIOUS Susie. I love how you take down David Corn for citing the Telegraph in a Clinton attack, when just last week you were citing Michael Barone of Town Hall, World Net Daily, and frequent Fox contributor in an attack on Obama. No double standard there... Holy shit.

Clinton in the middle of the Irish negotiations. Ok, I'll spot you that. Now what? A second term senator who was First Lady against a first term senator who was a state legislator. Btw – as First Lady, Hillary Clinton never carried a security clearance. You pride yourself on your insider knowledge of how politics works. Tell me, how much input into foreign affairs is it possible for a person not holding a security clearance to exercise? The answer – virtually none. The Irish talks were it for the First Lady. She played a marginal role at best. Yet somehow that marginal role readies her for the famous “3 am phone call” whilst poor, inexperienced Obama would run screaming into the night. The entire experience argument is fraudulent on its face. If you want to take it seriously Bill Clinton should never have been his party's nominee and if he doesn't make it to the White House it's awfully tough to imagine a scenario whereby Hillary Clinton becomes first a senator, then a legitimate candidate for president. And that's not a slam on Sen. Clinton - she is smart, tough, capable, etc (just like Sen. Obama) but given the choices she had made in her life up until the early 1990's if Bill drops out of the primaries early because he's seen as "inexperienced" today there is no primary challenge. Instead, today that inexperienced Sen. Obama has the Democratic nomination wrapped up. Keep playing the experience card. It is the single greatest edge McCain has. For the life of me, I can’t fathom how anyone claiming to want a Democratic victory in November could hammer away at experience.
