Oh No She Di-int!

Sen. Hillary Clinton (Democrat-NY), Monday at Allen University in South Carolina:
To underscore a point, some people may be running who tell you we don't face a real threat from terrorism. I'm not one of them.
I've often said that Sen. Clinton would make an excellent president, while at the same time staying on the fence as to whether or not she should be the Democratic nominee next year.

But if she's going to play the game like George W. Bush - by calling her opponents soft on terrorism - then as far as I'm concerned she can bow out now. What next? "A vote for Obama is a vote for the terrorists?!?"

I expect a spirited debate in presidential politics but damn it, the Democrats have had to fight these sort of bogus charges from the Republican side for years. That Hillary is pulling this sort of Rovian shit is reprehensible.
