Here's Jonathan Tasini, Hillary Clinton’s Democratic primary opponent in the 2006 Senate race, who I saw at a Barack Obama rally in Harlem over the weekend.

Tasini made the case to me that Obama’s success against Clinton was only made possible by the war issue.

“We did our modest effort to try to highlight why people should oppose Senator Clinton, based primarily on the war,” Tasini said of his campaign. He also said that Obama “could not have entered this race without the Iraq War.”
