Subject: RE: BS: Feingold to Obama Supporters: Cool it!
I don't think that Hillary is delusional or a witch. I think she was desperate and not looking at the big picture. I think that the recent spike in her unfavorable ratings has caused her to see the light and start to campaign as a serious candidate and a Democrat. I think from here on in she will basically stick to policy and attacking McCain.
I had and have no problem with her running. But the string of tactics and arguments that she engaged in were basically arguments that McCain was the bets choice. The 3 AM ad especially could have been tailor made for McCain.
I don't think McCain is a war monger. But he is trying to get the war monger's base to rally around him. He is saying a lot of things which are out of character for him, which worries me more than anything else.
I don't think Obama is an empty suit. He is making some very concrete proposals about foreign policy which will have far reaching effects for this country. He will send elite troops into Pakistan to get Al Qaeda, if he has to. Make no mistake. I believe that we will have war under Obama. But I think it will be the right war.
