Thanks,

What does everyone think of cloture and the current situation? Clearly the ability of the minority party to hold the majority party in check is important. However, I think the the GOP senators are playing a dangerous game. If the American public view them as continuing blanket support for the president despite what their constituents think they are in a lot of trouble. Doesn't something like 70% of the people feel we should get out of Iraq? If this is the case GOP senators voting against leaving or reduction are going to be very unpopular in 2 years allowing the democrats to gain more seats in the senate. I think the GOP are signing their own death certificate for the next election cycle.
