Shawn, you have to hand it to Hillary. She ingratiates her self
with the Lefties, shows a sense of humor and says nothing that will
come back to bite her in the general election. Even if she is not
the netroots' favorite, her goal is to soothe the beast so she can
maintain her chances in the general election. So long as she is not
the object of their venom she can just keep saying entirely
reasonable things like we should never rule out use of nuclear
weapons. The netroots, can't I think, determine the Democratic
nominee, but they can make her life miserable and her job in the
general election more difficult. John Edwards can win their hearts
but after today Hillary is the one breathing easier.
