If you'll remember, Hillary Clinton was the only Democratic candidate who didn't want to make the correction to crack/cocaine sentencing disparities retroactive.
Apparently reeling from her recent drubbing in Iowa, her campaign is now attacking Barack Obama for his opposition to federal mandatory minimums and his "liberal voting record" on criminal defendants' rights.
I'd say both of those positions make Obama sound pretty good.
Is there a single issue where Hillary Clinton doesn't support giving more power to the government? Abortion, I guess. But any others?
