Gephart is on board - Daschle is still holding out. The Dem's must be feeling the heat from their peace-nik wing. Daschle knows that the longer the Iraq debate drags on, his "issues" are crowded off the front page.

So much for Gore's new hissy fit today. Gephardt just made Gore irrelevant to the Iraqi debate...

"Daschle knows that the longer the Iraq debate drags on, his "issues" are crowded off the front page."

Either that or while Daschle rested on his obstructionary laurals, believing he had all the apparatus in place to manufacture another Bush administration "scandal", the president did a neat flanking maneuver on him and GOT TO some of Daschle's lackeys.

...Or perhaps SOME Dems are beginning to believe the Floriduh redux Toricelli election fiasco and the revelation that the Dems are fielding a dead candidate in Hawaii doesn't bode well for their own political careers unless they can distance themselves from the worst Democrat poliyical messes ASAP. After all, controlling the Senate is NOT the same thing as having a Democrat housepet running the IRS and Justice Department to run interference for you.

...Probably both.

Yet another bi-partisan Depublican/War. I knew from the beginning that the Democratic "dissent" was merely eyewash for an eventual blank check to Dubya.
