The New Hampshire State Senate President has endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for President. Despite the initial surge for Senator Obama, Senator Clinton seems to be getting all her ducks in a row.

As part of that process Senator Clinton (and Senator Obama) are now backing a bill that would mandate a troop withdrawal from Iraq on a set timetable. This is politically smart because it plays very well to the base of the Democratic Party and it is without consequence because both know that the bill will not pass. The real problem comes when they are faced with a vote to either keep funding the troops, without withdrawal language, or refuse to fund the troops and watch as President Bush uses the bully pulpit to blast them for abandoning our soldiers while they are still in harm's way.
