Schweitzer is in a position where he can legitimately criticize Clinton on her ties to Wall Street, but he's on shakier ground here. Schweitzer wasn't even in office in 2002 and has no background in foreign policy. It would have been interesting to see how Schweitzer actually would have voted on Iraq had he beaten Conrad Burns when he ran against him in 2000.
It would be a good thing if Schweitzer ran and it pushed Clinton to the left on economic policy. But this particular line of criticism smells of Monday morning quarterbacking. If Schweitzer runs, I would suggest that he primarily focus on economic policy as pocketbook anxieties are a huge issue and likely will continue to be in the near future. Iraq is old news and he isn't a very good vessel for challenging Hillary on foreign policy.
