State surprise: Superdelegate goes to Clinton
War concerns lead party official to her decision


Hillary Clinton picked up the support Thursday of a previously uncommitted Washington state superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention, giving her bid for the party's presidential nomination a boost just before a weekend that could prove critical to her flickering chances.

The endorsement by Eileen Macoll, the vice chairwoman of the state Democratic Party, halts a recent pattern of Washington superdelegates lining up behind Clinton's rival for the nomination, Barack Obama. It also means that Macoll has set herself apart from the state party chairman, Dwight Pelz, who endorsed Obama May 19 and called on Democrats to rally behind Obama.

"I think Hillary Clinton would be the best commander in chief to get us out of this mess in Iraq," Macoll said.

2. Yes ,W. Wilson

Was just a school teacher,that's what he said as president when ww1 became too close for his comfort.War has a way of making people look deeper into political ,military realities that are otherwise seemingly not there.Certain truths that are indeed difficult to grasp . Sometimes the relative sense to it can jog the old electrical signals and reverberation circuits in the brain just a bit.Such as it will be in November.

It's no cinch no matter how smart you are.And there are no quick solutions,thats the hard part. Nobody likes to deal with the hard part.You see hard question, did Bush start it of did it start long befor Bush? Who cares to know? It's just a free question.
