Biden is the only Democrat I wouldn't mind as President. He has guts and can actually be strong on defense.

There is a good chance my support for Obama will switch to Edwards if he blows this one.

Clinton and Obama decide to vote no at the last moment. Not good leadership, but at least they're not totally stupid the way Biden was.

I can't say I'm thrilled with Biden's decision on this one.

Did he just stop trying now? Its dumb enough that McCain is banking on the war, but a Democrat?

Clearly Biden isn't seriously running for the Democratic nomination any longer.

Has Biden issued a statement explaining his vote?

Interestingly, there were only 10 Senate Democrats voting against this...three of whom are running for president.

Good move by Obama. Continues to stick to his principles.

Yeah and I bet Clinton only voted ''no'' to try and match his move. It looks like I'm still with Obama for now.

Isn't it fascinating that what's politically popular for a presidential candidate is something 90% of the Senate can't even consider doing?
