A note to buoy my spirits from reader Nefarious Leslie:Hi Hopey. mcjoan says:
The Feingold-Reid Amendment failed this morning, 29-67. Twenty-nine of our Democratic Senators does comprise a majority of the majority party, and is a significant bump from the 11 senators who are actual cosponsors of the bill. It also sent the strong message that many Dems, including the presidential contenders, endorse the idea of cutting funding in principle.I like to think of it the way she does, only because it’s less depressing and focuses on moving forward.-Nefarious Leslie
But the result means that we still have a lot of work to do.
Thanks NL, that helps with the sting.

Possibly the moral equivalent of the reason Johnson wasn't available?

Thanks Mary. great minds and all that...

If we are going to be treated to more votes like his pro-torture MCA vote, it's OK with me if he skips them.
I agree with Nef Les, and I think the importance of this is getting people on record. Worked wonders on Hillary.
The Sherrod Brown non-vote still disturbs me. He was adamantly anti-war when he ran, and now, especially in light of his MCA vote is just another rotten apple.
