Hillary 2008? Jonathan Tasini? Who?!?!


Hillary is one of the only democrats who still does not support a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. Over the past several years she has steadily weakened her stance on the issues, from the freedom to marry to half-hearted statements on health-care. Jonathan Tasini is running against her in the NY Democratic Senate Primary. The fact is that the prospects of him winning are probably hopeless--not because of his stance on the issues, but because of who Hillary is--but still, Tasini's speech serves as a good reminder as to why Hillary would not be the progressive choice for President in 2008. She was weak on trade-agreements, on Israel-Palestine, the death-penalty, the list continues. Watch the clip below:

Note: The video is a bit outdated, Tasini has since gotten on the ballot.
