Chiming in just on this one point because, in fairness, not everyone voted for the Iraq war.
Obama didn't, and it's one of the things that made him a great presidential candidate. He made the right call even when it was a difficult, unpopular call, about a matter of mass life or death.
To me, voting for the Iraq war is representative of terrible judgment. It was inexcusable really. As much as the Bush administration sold a lie, it should have been plain as day to anyone paying attention that it was a lie (and not in hindsight, it should have been readily apparent at the time). That she couldn't see it is extremely troubling.
For me, that vote is the biggest black mark on her record, and an almost singularly disqualifying one.
