Hillary Clinton's other credibility crisis

It isn't just Tuzla -- though that is by far the most peculiar example of her issues with honesty.

Her false claim that she was a NAFTA critic from the beginning -- a false claim that was central to her victory in Ohio -- is also going to be a huge.

Let's be clear: if Hillary Clinton somehow gets the nomination, John McCain will use her lie against her; she won't be able to claim opposition to NAFTA like she did during the Democratic primary.

You should never say never, but she's got almost no chance to win Ohio. Sure, she does decently in polls now. But come November, after voters there learn the full story about Hillary Clinton and NAFTA, it probably won't even be close.

Here's the Digg It link for the NAFTA video.
