Is the FISA bill being debated and voted on today important enough for Hillary and Barack

[AndyA]

to make an appearance? I mean, they do still have a responsibility to their constituents. Are they going to spend the day campaigning, as if nothing important is happening in the Senate Chamber?

And how do Hillary and Barack supporters feel about it if they are a no show? :shrug:

1. I'll be pretty disappointed, especially if it's close.

[jlake]

2. Yes, they need to show up.

I will NOT be pleased with anyone who does not show up and vote with Dodd.

3. they need to be there

4. hell yeah they should be there, and they should be talking about it, they have all the media they...

can ever ask for, i haven't heard a word about it from them.

5. I think if Barack and Hillary

joined together to show support for Dodd on the floor --it would be a momentous and incredible statement of both how important this issue is and have an added plus of a needed unity message.

10. That would be super.

6. I think the rest of the party would have a hard time dissing two of the leading nominees

so, yes, I think they should show.

7. PS And Bill has to be there too!

[Cant trust em]

8. FISA is extremely important, so I hope they make it

but I think that we have to understand the nature of campaigning and know that they won't be there to make every vote. It is an unfortunate aspect of the run for the presidency.
