This question turned out to be the biggest question of the YouTube debate. Hillary Clinton’s camp said it shows Barack Obama’s inexperience. Obama said a day later that it shows his new thinking (although in the question he invokes Ronald Reagan). You be the judge.

Hillary Clinton flio-flopped on this answer, just as she did on Iraq.

This is going to catch up with Senator Clinton; she can’t be one kind of elected official for change, and then the one who’s status quo on the same subject in the same year.

I don’t see his answer hurting Obama’s chances in the primary. Most rational people would agree with him. If he were nominated, however, this would come back and bite him in the ass.
it is likely very unfair and hypocrite for asking Barack Obama first about his view and then giving Hillary Clinton and Edwards the space to response sothat they can score on his view.
