A little while back, this site noted that the Hillary camp was contending that there is less difference between her position and Obama than many war opponents would believe.

From this, we can conclude that Team Hillary believes that her war vote is one of her biggest weak spots going into the primary, and that they need to hit Obama, to knock him off the antiwar pedestal.

Well, she’s now brought out one of her biggest guns in this fight:

Former President Bill Clinton yesterday complained that “it’s just not fair” the way his wife, presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), is being depicted for her controversial Iraq war vote.
Speaking to hundreds of supporters on conference call, the former president said, “I don’t have a problem with anything Barack Obama [has] said on this,” but “to characterize Hillary and Obama’s positions on the war as polar opposites is ludicrous.
“This dichotomy that’s been set up to allow him to become the raging hero of the anti-war crowd on the Internet is just factually inaccurate.” …
The former president also quoted an interview with Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) in this month’s GQ magazine, explaining that Hagel’s justification for his vote on the war is very similar to Hillary Clinton’s. “All these people who criticize Hillary all the time all love Hagel for being a critic of the war,” Clinton said.

(I’ll give you all a moment to compose yourselves, since I’m sure you’re beside yourselves with sorrow at the news that Bill Clinton believes the media and the Democratic grassroots are not being fair to his wife. Or you may be laughing too hard to continue reading.)

Will these answers fly with Democratic primary voters? In some cases, sure; but as we saw in the Obey hallway confrontation and the regular presence of screaming Code Pink folk at Hillary events, a lot of anti-war folks just don’t want to listen to anything Hillary has to say.
