Voting yes was the "safe" choice.

Do you seriously think that the man who spoke these words at an anti-war rally in October 2002 would have voted yes?:

"I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.

What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us..

That's what I'm opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics."

Clinton and Edwards woudn't have been caught dead at an anti-war rally in October 2002.

The vote on the AuMF will decide our nominee.
