Actually, I'd argue it would help her get the Presidency. I think she's thinking she will get people like Darla's vote, people who are against the war and don't support her position on the war but just do not want a Republican in the White House, and it will help her with those Independents and Republicans who want someone tough on National Security which I think this makes her more appear.
Yeah, she knows that people like me will do anything, settle for anything, rather than have a Rudy or a Thompson as President...another four years, it's nearly unthinkable to us.
I resent it though. I am hoping she gets a big surpise and is upset by Edwards.
