Hillary vs. Hillary
This kind of thing will kill the Hillary campaign, but it will be ongoing fun to watch as it goes down. Even Kos deals out. But from the other direction. She can’t win.
Hillary will now see her campaign events hijacked by anti-war protesters, with people demanding she defend her vote at every corner. Iraq will dominate coverage of her campaign, and she’s on the wrong side of the issue. And by going this far without admitting her mistake, she has painted herself into a corner. Any attempt now to back off and apologize would be met with the proper scorn.
For Hillary, No amount of nuance will make this issue go away.
Today she lost my potential vote. I doubt I’m the only person in this position. Thankfully, as Hillary so helpfully pointed out, the rest of the field 1) didn’t make the mistake to begin with, or 2) aren’t afraid to admit their mistakes

If she gets the nomination, Kos will be back, and she knows it. He probably does too. It’s posturing.
