(7,192 posts)voting for John Kerry, Joseph Biden, and John Edwards-even though each of these voted yes on the Iraq War resolution.
In fact Biden is still being championed by many of same as a great candidate for president in 2020 - scarcely a mention of his Iraq War Resolution vote.
Obama of course had not been in the Senate at the time of the IWR vote.
So since the Iraq War Resolution passed the Senate in 2002 every Democratic ticket for president and vice-president had either 2 candidates who voted for it or one candidate who voted for it and one who was not eligible to vote for it.
Anger of the so-called Democratic Left (I am not sure we actually have a viable left in the sense of an organized forward leaning cutting-edge movement) has focused much more on H Clinton than Biden, Kerry or Edwards.
