Reply #13: He's following his conscience and fighting effectively in the Senate. [View All]

I simply can't question what his conscience tells him to do. The reason why he has been so effective is because he is NOT running. The Dem leadership is allowing him to take the lead on issues like Iraq and Global Warming because he no longer is a threat to Hillary Clinton (I think no one would argue with me that the Clintons are major power brokers in the Dem Party, and the media knows it).

After he dropped out, the entire Dem caucus in the Senate embraced his ideas on Iraq. His talking point from last week that the Bush administration is "moving the goal posts" is ubuiquitous in the pundit class. None of that would have happened had he run.

He made the right decision.
