This is an interesting issue because i don't think going the Bush way necessarily wins you any votes. You may lose some paranoid Democrats by opposing it, but on the other hand, you might gain some folks on the libertarian wing of the Republican party. I think some of the Cheney types might be vulnerable this fall. Why play to them? People have other things on their minds.
At this point our alternatives are McCain and Obama and 3rd party candidates. Clinton is done. Besides, where does she really stand on this issue? During the campaign, she was in favour of debate, but didn't come out against it. Obama did the same thing. Perhaps i missed something. Still, i can't imagine she's going to stick her neck out.
