TPM - Made a good point: HRC's silence over McCain's Iraq blunders..
Can anyone tell me if HRC made any sort of comment toward McCain after he made the three and four repeated comments about how Iran is fueling al Queda in Iraq?

I point this out because TPM made a good point - that if Obama had done the same thing, HRC would have jumped all over him for his "inexperience."

Does anyone know if she jumped all over McCain or was she silent?

1. What did Obama say about McCain's errors?

3. Obama....
In a speech brought up McCain's errors and said that since he can't tell the difference between Sunni and Shia, al Queda and Iran and so on, that it is pretty clear why maybe McCain voted for the wrong war.

I would like to know if HRC made any sort of comment toward McCain's idiotic statements (he made the same comments like three or four days in a row).

2. Because she's trying to win the nomination, not pretending to be
running against McCain already, like Bama is.

4. So Clinton can't focus on two things at once?

13. It's OK. Not like a Commander in Chief ever has to do that.

8. In other words
She'd rather attack a Democrat instead of a Republican. And she's already endorsed McCain so why would she be critical of him?

11. She will sock it to McCain in the general.
Don't pretend Obama doesn't attack her.

12. Unlikely
And Obama never said McCain was a better candidate than Clinton. There's a reason that McCain and Clinton aren't talking about Rev. Wright too much as they've got some pastor problems of their own.

9. Why would Hillary comment on this?
She's wholeheartedly praised McCain for his experience numerous times. If she were to criticize McCain now, she'd be admitting she made a mistake by endorsing McCain over Obama for the general election.
