Overton window paradigm shifting and all the heated rhetoric that surrounds that discussion.

But if that is what one cares about, the dirty little secret is that Sen. Hillary Clinton is better than Obama on that issue.

You know what, I would have actually agreed with you -- or said it won't surprise me -- because I always knew blogging was a self-serving enterprise commercializing embittered activism.

Can Clinton jump on that gaffe and make hay?  I don't think it matters.
