MANCHESTER, New Hampshire, January 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Following her crushing defeat in Iowa, Hillary Clinton has decided to attack Barack Obama on different ground: she is claiming that he is not as committed to abortion as she is, hoping to cast doubt that Obama is pro-abortion enough to make an acceptable Democratic president.

Now she is accused of suboptimal blood thirst for euthanasia.

Some of my friends who are Hillary Clinton supporters have been feeling sad and bitter since Iowa punctured the aura of invincibility around her campaign. But she’s recovered from that loss to win New Hampshire. It appears there could be a long, close race ahead.
I’ve felt sad about her, too, especially since she almost broke down at an appearance Monday. This is such a grueling and public process, full of ups and downs.

None of us can presume to understand what goes on in another’s marriage, so I didn’t join those critics who blamed Hillary for staying with Bill. I was thrilled when she ran for the Senate and got her chance to shine and lead.
But then that fearless, progressive voice started to get muffled. She not only voted for the Iraq war and increased spending for it; she still won’t admit she was wrong. She accepted money from the very health-care industry that fought her on health-care reform.
And as the late columnist Molly Ivins pointed out, she clammed up when it came to a spectacle like the Terri Schiavo right-to-die battle, but made a big deal in support of an anti-flag-burning amendment.
So it doesn’t work to cast herself as the “change” candidate. But relying on her husband to claim the mantle of experience didn’t quite work here either.
