I watched the debate, and I could have swore that it was the other Dems who jumped on that. And is it really so complicated that you can't be for it or against it? I'm against it. Here's the story:
LAS VEGAS (AP) – Former President Clinton on Monday compared Republican criticism of his wife's position on driver's license for illegal immigrants to the ads that helped sink John Kerry's White House hopes in 2004.
"I had the feeling that at the end of that last debate we were about to get into cutesy land again," Clinton told some 3,000 members of the American Postal Worker's Union at a convention.
At the end of a televised Democratic presidential debate last week, Hillary Rodham Clinton hedged on whether she supported a plan by her home state governor, New York's Eliot Spitzer, to issue licenses to illegal immigrants.
Republicans — and her rivals for the Democratic nomination — quickly criticized her answer, accusing her of trying to have it both ways.
But Bill Clinton said the issue is too complicated for sound bites.
"It's fine for Hillary and all the other Democrats to discuss Governor Spitzer's plan. But not in 30 seconds — yes, no, raise your hand," he said.

I found one true clinton supporter, ssuper critic...he's of the John Kerry fold that understands the importance of nuances, and hates the idea of making a clear decision. It's a free country...you'll get your chance to vote for more of that if it's what makes you happy.
