The morning after

Hillary the Hawk

So far, every liberal blogger I've read has tried to paint her hawkish stands as pandering to those hated white working class voters of Appalachia, the Great Lakes, and the Rockies.

Pshaw.

This is the real Hillary, and deflecting blame for this from her onto a favorite liberal target is just denial and pre-election baloney to mitigate the hostility of Obama fans and anti-interventionists.

Anti-interventionism for the Democrats is sucker-bait.

Update, later that same day.

Conservatives are thrilled to use Hillary to back up their attacks on Obama for wussy incompetence, much as they were in 2008.

That publicity might be good for her among conservatives who prioritize hawkishness in the general of 2016, but it's undermining O's last couple of years and will hurt her in the primaries, provided anybody plausible wants to run as an un-hawk.

For sure, nobody will run as a dove.

O might have been the most dovish Democrat among the presidentiables.

And he's done, now.

And anybody with the last name "Paul" has less chance of getting the GOP nomination than Rachel Maddow.
