In fairness to Bartlett, he doesn't count himself among the Obamacons. As far as policy differences, the nuances between Obama and Clinton on foreign policy were enough for a large section of the Democratic electorate. They were also enough for many conservatives: the Obamacons overwhelmingly oppose the war while Bill Kristol in August 2007 described Hillary as "the responsible Democrat who could become commander in chief in a post-9/11 world."
