…unlike McCain, who is more likely to become President if Obama is the Democratic nominee.

Dilettante purists like the author of that poster helped elect Reagan and GWBush; don’t repeat that mistake again.

Oliver,

Seriously, I like Obama and think he may make a great president, but why does he get a pass on voting repeatedly to fund a war he supposedly opposes?

Yes, I know she keeps voting that way too.

I just think the reliance on his war opposition is a little disingenuous and quite a bit overplayed in light of his votes for the repeated and consistent funding of the war, the lack of bills he has introduced to end the war, etc.

Just sayin’

I’m not wild about either of them voting to fund the war, but she voted for it and seems to not think that it matters. I’m all for her if she’s the nominee, but still.

Unfortunately, the choice is between an unrepentant Hillary, a cagey Obama, and warpig McCain. At least with Obama and Hillary there is a chance that the war will end by 2013′s inauguration. Maybe it is wishful thinking, but President Obama or President H. Clinton won’t veto a war funding bill with timetables for withdrawal.
