Why does IWR matter again all of a sudden?
Because McCain plans to beat us all over the head with it if Hillary is the nominee. "For it before you were against it," "went from supporting the war to opposing its funding," etc.

It gets to electability, and it was always one of the main reasons for Obama's candidacy.

Amazing, more than five years later, that one vote can define a presidential nominating contest. But here it is. Obama has already worked it into his closing argument and it won't be going away anytime soon.

1. Well, he can't, actually.
Because he was pro-war and continues to be pro-war.

And because he has nothing to offer on the economy and the Democrats will have him for breakfast.

Your post is just silly. They can't argue on their points of agreement.

2. Even Hillary acknowledged his October 2002 speech opposing the war tonight

which removes a whole line of argument from the Republican side that they'll have against Hillary.
