On the IWR: Hillary is another John Kerry, but less likable.
Bush ran around 2004 saying that Kerry supported the Iraq War and had no right to criticize. If Hillary is the nominee, it's going to happen again. Hillary has to defend her Iraq War vote. She has no right to say the "war was wrong." Why? Because she's one of it's biggest supporters and still hasn't apologized for it.

Also consider what it's says about the Democratic party if we nominate another pro-war Democrat. We're no different. More of the same. One party system.

We need to give the voters a choice between right and wrong. Left and right. Good and Bad. Not evil and less evil, wrong or wronger, bad and worse.

1. No she's not. Not even close. Except for your very narrow point.
Agree with your precise point, but saying Hillary is "another John Kerry" is sadly not true.

If Hillary were very much like John Kerry, her IWR vote would not get in the way of my supporting her, because there would be enough good there to override that.

But sadly, there are plenty of other reasons not to support her, and she is nothing like John Kerry, in my observation.
