Senator Clinton, you need some new advisors.

[Caro]

From The New York Times, 1/22/06—a Clinton advisor says that “pockets” on the left are against the war in Iraq, and that makes them “enemies” of Senator Clinton:

The attacks may help energize her network of financial supporters at a time when she faces no serious opposition in her re-election bid this year in New York. But perhaps more important, the Republican attacks are already leading Democrats to rally around her, at a time when the senator is facing criticism from pockets on the left on several issues, chiefly her support for the war in Iraq. "If a person is defined by their friends and their enemies, she has all the right enemies," said one Democrat who is close to Mrs. Clinton.

From Zogby International, 1/15/06—Zogby shows that the “pockets” consist of almost the entire Democratic Party, and a great majority of independents:

While 61% of Republicans said he was doing a good job managing the war (down from 70% in October), just 11% of Democrats and 28% of independents gave him good marks in that area. Among Democrats, 71% said Bush was doing a “poor” job with the war, while 17% said he was doing only a “fair” job.

Why listen to an “advisor” who doesn’t even know what the vast majority of Democrats believe and want?

1. Senator Clinton needs to quit assuming she will be anointed

or crowned in the primaries and get out there and listen to the members of the party, not just the DLC and her husband's old war room operatives.

2. Outrageous.

She sees the vast majority of Dems as her "enemies"?!

I used to just delete her donation request emails.
Now I hit the reply button and send a short message: "Sorry, I don't support Republicans."

This OP makes me feel even better about that decision.

4. "“pockets” on the left are against the war in Iraq"

let's see, most polls show that 65% or more of the people want us out of Iraq. Pockets on the left? They got to be kidding, or we just became the majority :)
