Why Hillary can't win
By Libby Spencer
The blunt triangulation that worked to put her husband in office has become a double-edged sword and Hillary has cut her throat on it. Bill won before Blogtopia was invented and while Hillary has embraced "teh internets" as a political tool, she apparently doesn't yet understand that the days you could equivocate according to your audience are long over.
Either she's for staying in Iraq or she's not. Either she's for gay rights or she's not. She can't have it both ways and in trying to do so, has effectively written herself out of the race.
