Sen. Leahy: Clinton should drop out.
Per Vermont Public Radio. Says McCain's recent gaffs are getting a free pass because Obama is having to fight off Clinton.

3. The fact that this is a fellow senator says a lot
They don't come out against another colleague if they can avoid it.

11. nope. you couldn't be much more in error
Leahy is a strong partisan and one of the most powerful dems on the Hill. He's been a Dem Senator for 34 years.

12. really...? the right wing disagrees with you
"Considered by a consensus of Hill Republicans the "meanest, most partisan, most ruthless Democrat in the Senate,"


"Leahy has the seventh-highest seniority in the Senate, and his lifetime liberal ranking, according to the nonpartisan magazine National Journal, is 10th overall in the Senate.

However, even his Democratic colleagues call him "imperious" and a "pain to work with."



"Leahy was an avid supporter of Marla Ruzicka, an antiwar activist who worked closely with radical Marxists like Medea Benjamin and the groups Global Exchange and Code Pink"


"In November 2001, Leahy was one of two Senators targeted in the anthrax attacks on the U.S. Capitol".

16. He's the guy who Cheney instructed to fuck himself.
That alone should tell you a lot about Leahy's character.

13. You are thinking of Bernie Sanders, the independent. Leahy is a Democrat
and Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
