sdnativeson, that’s a very good point. You’re right, if a republican pulled this stunt, the democrats would be all up in arms. But hillary pulled it, and the democrats should be all up in arms anyway, because it’s just plain lameness. It’s nothing more than emotional manipulation.

But they won’t be, because she’s a democrat. That should be all the more reason for democrats to say to her, “hey, knock it off, you’re hurting our chances in ’08 on two fronts. One, you look like a fool for bringing it up, so that hurts your chances. And two, some people will fall for it, so you’re hurting Obama’s chances.”

Yes, it will be interesting to see who calls her out on it, if anyone.
