Poll question: Hillary votes for a bill opposed by most DUers, Barack misses the vote. . .how should DUers react?
Edited on Wed Sep-26-07 03:15 PM by wndycty
There is a lot noise being made about Barack missing today's vote and there will probably backlash against Hillary for voting for the Lieberman/Kyl bill, which was opposed by Biden and Dodd. Despite the typical DU grandstanding and hysterics, how should DUers really respond?

3. It's your vote
but if you don't want us to end up in Iran, I would SERIOUSLY scrutinize your candidate. This is not the time to vote without knowing the facts.

6. The usual
Just about what you'd expect: People will get upset at each other and there will be in-fighting.

fwiw, I didn't vote in the poll.

8. It's not Barack's fault; the vote wasn't supposed to happen today
He has campaign events planned and can't be expected to make it to every single vote. Maybe if he missed casting the deciding vote, you could blame him somewhat, but to blame him for this is obvious political sniping.

16. Blame MoveOn, Code Pink ...
& anyone else standing up to the right wing.

Or just make excuses for Obama and Clinton.

Either is fine.
