Hillary Clinton has said many times now that she and John McCain are fit to be commander in chief, but Barack Obama is not. And she says that the national security issue will dominate the general election campaign.
This is not just traitorous to the Democratic party and incredibly insulting to Obama, it's stupid politics. If by some miraculous misfortune Clinton became the nominee, she will have given away her chief issue.
By now stipulating that John McCain is fit to be commander in chief, how is she going to argue that he isn't later?
And she's doing it at precisely the time that the media is discovering: hey, this guy may not actually be a fit commander-in chief.
It's coming out in this story. It's already come out in this story. McCain's Republican colleagues in the Senate and high ranking military officers are telling reporters that McCain isn't temperamentally fit to have his finger poised over the button--or to be answering the red phone. He goes nuts. He loses judgment.
And one of these story appeared on the same day that McBush lost his temper with a reporter asking him a fairly simple question.
But Clinton can't say a word about it, now or later, because she's too busy trying to destroy Obama, a fellow Democrat, so she can face Republican McCain, who she has now insulated from the most important charges possible. Not only politically, but in terms of being a trustworthy commander in chief and president of the United States.
What did Samantha Powers say, that prompted Clinton to demand she be fired? Oh yeah, she said Hillary would stoop to do anything to win.
