I HAVE TO GIVE HILLARY SOME CREDIT

In these two statements, she seems to have come back under the tent:

Clinton: 'Mistake' to vote for McCain

WASHINGTON, May 14 (UPI) --

The New York senator said if she is not the nominee her supporters should back Democrat Barack Obama, the junior senator from Illinois. "Anybody who has ever voted for me or voted for Barack has much more in common in terms of what we want to see happen in our country and in the world with the other than they do with John McCain," Clinton said in an appearance on CNN.

Clinton defends Obama from Bush

Hillary, today in Rapid City, South Dakota, defended Obama from President Bush's apparent comparison of him to Neville Chamberlain, Ken Vogel reports.

She told reporters:

President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive
and outrageous on the face of it
, especially in light of his failures in foreign
policy. This is the kind of statement that has no place in any presidential
address and certainly to use an important moment like the 60th anniversary
celebration of Israel to make a political point seems terribly misplaced.
Unfortunately, this is what we’ve come to expect from President Bush.
