Hillary Clinton will support Fiengold Amendment.
http://electioncentral.tpmcafe.com/blog/electioncentral/2007/may/15/hillary_will_vote_for_feingold_amendment


"Tomorrow, I will cast my vote to send the President a clear message: Democrats are united in fighting to change course, redeploy our troops out of Iraq, and end this war as soon as possible.

"When the Senate votes on motions to allow debate on both the Feingold-Reid and Reed-Levin Amendments, I will vote for cloture on both. I do so because we, as a united party, must work together with clarity of purpose and mission to begin bringing our troops home and end this war."

1. Oh. She'll vote for CLOTURE
Knowing full well cloture will be voted down, and even if the bill came to a vote she'd vote no anyway. She's not exactly taking a stand here.

To be fair I don't think any of the major candidates would vote yes on the Feingold bill. Kucinich obviously would, and Gravel, but that's about it. I just wish she wouldn't make a public statement that PRETENDS to take a stance when in reality it doesn't. It smacks of pandering.
