Since you asked...

Joe Sudbay…

When exactly did Hillary Clinton demonstrate that she was able to "cross the commander-in-chief threshold"?

Since you asked, she didn't.

That privilege follows the "inauguration threshold," which follows the "election threshold," assuming you can get past the "nomination threshold." Not a particularly safe assumption for Senator Clinton to make at this point.

If you don't know what we're talking about, we're talking about this...

“I think that since we now know Sen. (John) McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. And I think it’s imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold,” the New York senator told reporters crowded into an infant’s bedroom-sized hotel conference room in Washington.

“I believe that I’ve done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you’ll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy,” she said.

Enough of that.

Barack Obama for President.
