Something has changed. Schumer seems to be leaning back to his old self....distancing himself from Hillary. He WAS a successful Senator and really knew his way around Upstate NY.

I'm hardly a Dem but will wait and see what he says about his trip. 2nd Government paid trip in 27 years...Pretty amazing!!

Yours was the only “let’s wait for what he says and see” statement while everyone else here is in the usual take a prisoner mode.

On the surface at least he showed up. By the way, she looks like she is at least giving him attention to what he is doing/saying.

How many of your governmental “leaders” have done the same by showing up in Iraq?

And no, I am as far from a Dem supporter as can be.

My guess is that Shuckie smellls a liberal win in November and he is getting experienced early on to claim a liberal victory over Iraq. Probably looking for office space in Babylon.

That’s because Schumer doesn’t think there’s anything worth seeing West of the Hudson ;)

There's gotta be a reason--probably fear of flying.

Yeah, Hillary came and pressed the flesh too. RATs never do anything unless it benefits themselves.

Thanks for your reply to my post.

I watch the Military Channel quite frequently. Lately there are "ads" running with Dems on them (Ed Rendell the Gov of Pennsylvania for example), praising our brave men and women serving overseas, and urging those who "fell like Ed does" to contact a website to "show your support for our military "like Ed does( or whoever the dem "spokesperson" on the "Dems praising the troops" commercial happens to be).

IMHO, it's more than disgusting every time I have to sit through one, knowing what their TRUE feelings are.
