That theory that Clinton’s playing to the left, only opposing Iraq for mercenary reasons, won’t be an utter foreign policy disaster if she gets elected, just took a hit. Murtha endorses Hillary.

Unless McCain’s heart starts skipping beats or he goes seriously Manchurian, you won’t be winning the general either. He’s got the moderates and you, or Obama, [...]
