I've just muted Axlerod on the Morning Joe show as he spins anti-Hillary on NAFTA. What I remember is that after Hillary laid out her position in her debate with Obama, he said, "I agree with what Hillary just said."
They love to highlight any change in her positions as if a politician is obliged to choose one stance and never change it. (Who knows what record he'd have established -- he hasn't been around long enough for us to judge.) It's been hammered to death in the media and well-explained that she was privately not supportive of NAFTA during her husband's administration but supported it in public, with private reservations kept in house, for the sake of his agenda -- he was the president, she was not. That she wants to maintain NAFTA, with modifications, is her clear position now. So, la la la la, I CAN"T HEAR YOU and your spin, mr. axelwhatever -- author of the "just words" speech you supplied to both your candidates, Deval and Obama.
