TheHill.com - Clinton suffers virtual defeat in MoveOn vote on Iraq
Seven Democratic White House hopefuls participated in the April 10 event, sponsored by the influential MoveOn.org Political Action PAC, and MoveOn members picked Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) as the candidate who “would be best able to lead the country out of Iraq.”

Obama received 27.87 percent of the vote, followed closely by former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards with 24.84 percent. A total of 42,882 MoveOn members participated in the vote.

Clinton finished a distant fifth with 10.7 percent, also trailing Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio) with 17.18 percent and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson with 12.26 percent.

since when does Obama have a comprehensive plan for Iraq?
I think this just shows how clueless or brainwashed the MoveOn crowd is

Moveon is more dedicated to the more liberal elements. Obama has consistently been against the war and would withdraw the troops. Clinton was in favor of the war and only more recently indicated that she favors withdrawing the troops, and has even been non-commital on that. The results are not surprising at all.

Bill Richardson is by far the most qualified candidate of EITHER party to lead the country...especially when the poll asks who would be best able to lead the country out of Iraq. He is an amazing foreign policy thinker and diplomat.

MoveOn is nothing but a scam organization. They claim they started their orgainization because they were frustrated with 'partisan warfare' while they are nothing more than partisan liberals with a partisan agenda. They claim to be a non-profit, but I'm sure someone is living fat off of the 'non-profit' money they are collecting from liberals.

You know she has just got to be hating Obama right now. Here she's spent her whole life in dirty politics and putting up with ole Bill, riding his coat tails and here comes this guy sucking the wind out of her campaign. I'll bet she's trying to figure out a way to put him on the 'Clinton Body Count' list.
