She has absolutely committed to "serious troop withdrawals from Iraq" and is the ONLY one who's said the first step would be a plan for doing so properly.
Her healthcare paln is universal. Obama's is not. Do we want universal health care or something that's almost universal healthcare?
You cannot find a single vote she has cast on behalf of the healthcare/drug industry. Obama also has huge money from those.
She has a very short history of supporting censorship; video games is, I believe, the only place where you'll find that history. She has been accused of supporting anti-flag burning legislation, but she, in fact, voted against it.
If you read the Iraq resolution, and her floor speech at the time, you would realize it was an effort to avoid invading.
In that speech she said that it would, hopefully, convince Saddam to cooperation with the inspectors (which it did), and Saddam could then be disarmed without military intervention.
She went on to say that if it did not convince Saddam to cooperate with the inspectors, it would put us in a better position to build a stronger coalition with which to invade.
Bush blew both.
