The Democrats are now finding how much a problem it can be to be in the majority but not enough to have Sixty Votes, its seems that the Republicans might stop a vote that opposes a surge in Iraq in less they can have their resolutions voted on.
Here are some interesting articles on the Subject:
USA Today on if the resolution will get passed.
Washington Post on the political cost of the War to the Republicans. The Washington Post states the following on the cumbersome route for the Resolution, ' Should resolution supporters clear their first obstacle, the Senate will move to an anticipated long series of votes on amendments. The big ones to watch include a Republican call for the immediate withdrawal of all troops, intended to put Democrats on the spot, and attempts by antiwar Democrats to strike certain provisions, including one opposing the termination of funding for troops in the field. ' It is a matter of cat and mouse, those running to the left of Hillary Clinton will call for a quick removal of troops, those that want to stand a chance in hell of winning the big prize in 2008 will have to be careful, one wrong move and you could find yourself another John Kerry, Votes count.
