With all the sudden emergence of unity talk and who should be president at today’s long-awaited endorsement of Barack Obama by Hillary Clinton, it’s easy perhaps to forget that it wasn’t so


long ago that these two -- plus others involved in this historic Democratic nomination contest -- had some contrary, not-so-nice things to say about the party’s new presumptive nominee.


Now here, like clockwork in the two-party political system, comes the Republican National Committee, which has cleverly assembled a series of film clips of both Clintons, John Edwards and


Joe Biden talking about Obama in unflattering ways from the not-so-distant past. It has also created a lengthy web display of transcripts and videos here of Clinton’s many criticisms of the


man she now heartily endorses.


As these tit-for-tat political ploys go, this one packs a bit of a punch. Here’s a little piece of timing to ponder. You remember how long it feels since that cold caucus night in Iowa when


Obama took first and Clinton’s third-place finish foretold fundamental troubles that ended with today’s euthanasia of her flailing campaign?


Well, we’re not quite halfway from that night until election day Nov. 4.


And in the remaining 21 weeks until then, we’re pretty sure to see this video or pieces of it many more times.
