I am waiting to hear how are Presidential Candidates in the Senate are going to vote on this bill.

Anyone hear anything?

I heard on msnbc that Hillary and Obama don't know.

Biden could lose me on this one.

1. What are HRC and Obama waiting for?

Do they support defunding Bush's failed war or not?

2. Dodd will vote no

Just heard in CNN. Not surprised.

3. Only Biden so far for it

Of 4 current Senators:
Biden - Yes
Dodd - No
Clinton - No announced decision
Obama - No announced decision
As for other Dem Prez candidates:
Edwards and Kucinich are against it (as I'm sure Gravel would be).
Richardson - No word yet on what he thinks about it.

5. Where did you hear this? Do you have a link?

[Inuca]

10. Irrelevant reply by now, but still..

... I heard him live yesterday on CNN I think.

6. Biden has always been "All talk" with little to no action. No surprise - see Bankruptcy bill. n/t

[jillan]

7. This is NOT about credit cards, this is about war.

An unnecessary war. I can forgive Biden for his vote on the Bankruptcy Bill. (Edwards voted for the original bankruptcy bill - I hope you bring that up as well) But I don;t know if I could forgive him if he votes yes on Friday.

9. Let's face it, HRC will vote for continuing the war

I hope Obama doesn't, though, but his conspicuous silence on the Dems caving is a bad sign...

4. IF Biden votes yes

Dodd may get support from me.

He is really trying. He has a great video on his site.

8. thoughts from The Nation:

Feingold is, of course, right. But how many senators will join him in voting "no"? That question is especially significant for the four Senate Democrats who are seeking their party's presidential nomination: New York's Hillary Clinton, Illinois' Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record), Delaware's Joe Biden and Connecticut's Chris Dodd. Dodd says he is "disappointed" by the abandonment of the timeline demand; if he presses the point as he did on another recent war-related vote, he could force the hands of the other candidates. If either Clinton or Obama do go ahead and vote for the legislation, and certainly if both of them do so, they will create a huge opening for former North Carolina John Edwards, who has staked out the clearest anti-war position of the front runners for the nomination. But this is about more than just Democratic presidential politics

If Hillary, Barack, and Biden vote yes - this could be huge for Dodd.
