I received an email from Thom this morning, which contained the following:

The first thing Obama should do if nominated is put Hillary on the ticket. Will the Republicans have a field day with her on the ticket? Yes! Is their some bad blood in the water due to some negative campaign strategies on the part of the Clintons? Probably. Can Hillary be a tough fighter able to play tough allowing Obama to stay higher above the fray? Yes!

Patty Murray has just endorsed Hillary Clinton, as did Maria Cantwell did a while back. She has been a pretty good senator for my state. She has done a great deal for veterans, including preventing a hospital from being closed a year or so ago. However, she has chosen to ignore the chain of custody for this abominable invasion and occupation that is filling the beds at veterans hospitals nationwide. There is a disconnect between Senator Murray's vote against the AUMF and Hillary's carefully calculated but horribly wrong vote for it. Hillary Clinton said: "So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interests of our nation. A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war; it is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our President and we say to him - use these powers wisely and as a last resort." Everyone in congress knew that that vote was a vote to invade. Everyone knew, regardless of the many paragraphs and layers of deniability that precede the fateful conclusion of Hillary's speech.
