Great Editorial in WSJ Today - "Views of the Capital Times"

Sorry but I can't find the link, but check it out if you can.

The Capital Times editorial in today's Wisconsin State Journal talks about the Take Back America Conference I attended. A number of major Democratic speakers were there, most thinking about running for President.

John Nichols of the Capital Times (and the Nation) is right on with his analysis of how the candidates scored points on the Iraq War.

Hillary Clinton gave a overall strong speech, with the exception of her waffling on the Iraq War. It's hard to straddle a fence for an entire half hour. The crowd booed her on that issue, but overall gave her a warm response. My personal note: I think she intentionally included the line to get "boos", showing she's not too left. Inspiring?

John Kerry not only gave a very strong speech (where was that John Kerry during the campaign?), but APOLOGIZED for his wrong vote on the Iraq war. Big cheers.

But, as Nichols points out, who didn't have to apologize for getting the most important vote of the Bush years wrong? Wisconsin's own Russ Feingold.

Please find the link and send it to me, I'll post it...Thanks!
