James Carville & Paul Begala, regarding the IWR
I was pretty surprised to see this coming from Carville. This is from their book, Take It Back:

As opposition to the war has grown, some of the Democrats who supported it began to claim their vote was to put pressure on Iraq - that they voted merely to give the president the option to go to war. Bunk. The war resolution was a blank check. Senator Robert Byrd told his colleagues during debate on the resolution that they were "handing the president unchecked authority." The language of the resolution could not have been clearer: "The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate" against Iraq.

1. IWR is the main reason, I can't support Hillary in the primary
I'll vote for her if she is the nominee. Because I'm not stupid. I know she is better than any Repuke.

2. Nominating another candidate who supported the IWR is suicide.
