I'm surprised by Senator Clinton's new Alito position. The only explanation I can think of is that the harsh criticism she's been receiving from her hard-left base has made her antsy. A vote for a filibuster that won't happen is therefore an easy red-meat snack for the Kossites. Still, the end-result will surely be the equally damaging impression that Clinton is like her husband: mellifluous, hard to pin down, opportunistic and a political chameleon. But then he did win two presidential elections, didn't he?
