The new NIE which has undermined the Bush Administration and its policy towards Iran, could also have an effect on the Clinton Campaign. A few Debates back, Obama stated he would meet with Iran and others to discuss their problems via the USA. At the time this was seen as naive in some quarters but it could be argued that the NIE gives Obama cover to be quite liberal about Iran. On Iran Clinton has been seen as a hawk compared to the rest of the Democrats, Bush Light, but this could damage her campaign as Iran has halted its nuclear bomb aims in 2003.
This is the time for Obama to show that he can win and that he is the future while Clinton represent the past, politics is about winning.
