Re: "Primary Choices: Hillary Clinton"
To the Editor:
Your endorsement of Hillary Clinton starts off by alluding to previous years when Democrats had to "work hard to get excited by whichever candidate seems most likely to outlast an uninspiring pack," and yet, by concluding your column with references to "her comeback in New Hampshire and strong showing in Nevada," you appear to be doing
precisely that.
While you rightly disagree with Mrs. Clinton's vote for the resolution for the use of force in Iraq, you do not comment on her signing of the Kyl-Lieberman amendment and its implications for the continuation of a "Bush-lite" foreign policy. We don't know what the future will bring, only that there won't be time to conduct a poll and write a script before making the next decision. The best arguments for Obama are, in [our] opinion, the very statements that have been most criticized by Hillary and her longtime supporters (if not the wait-and-seers like the New York Times): that he would talk to our enemies, and would care for the victims of a terrorist act before bombing some random Arab—or, in this case, Persian— country.
