My issue with the article itself is the spin. I don’t think a pro Iraq war Dem could have gotten the nomination. Pretty much all the Dem candidates campaigned on Iraq being a failure. After the surge Bush robbed the dems of their hoped for failure in Iraq. That should have been a problem for the Dems but having Palin on the Republican ticket ended up counteracting that. We should be glad that Obama chose to responsibly wind down the war in Iraq instead of keeping his campaign promise for an immediate and disastrous withdrawal.
I really don’t see this as reflecting poorly on Obama.
