Gang of 14 on the Ropes [View All]

[bemildred]

You got that? Iraq is a wedge issue.

Newsweek: "With control of Congress on the line this November, both political parties are pressing the wedge issues -- immigration, stem-cell research and, most prominently, Iraq. And creatures of the center are struggling to simply stay in the game. Nowhere is the struggle more desperate than inside the Gang of 14, whose alliances across the aisle could cost three senators their jobs."

The three endangered members of the Gang of 14 include Sens. Mike DeWine (R-OH), Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), and Joe Lieberman (D-CT), all three of whom are trailing their opponents in recent polls.
