"These weren't 'close calls.' They made things up."



There are dozens of mainstream media "post-mortem" process pieces on why Senator Clinton's campaign lost the nomination to Obama's campaign. To me, Clinton's vote to authorize the Iraq invasion, and Obama's opposition to the invasion, is the substantive reason for Clinton's defeat. Nary a mention of this in the mainstream "post-mortem" pieces.

But here are Clinton and Obama in California, just before Super Tuesday. There's never really one defining moment in a campaign, but this exchange set forth for the country the biggest substantive difference between the two candidates.
