Reply #13: A news conference?

[NewJerseyDem]

Do you know how many news conferences democrats do. They have tons of news conferences every day but it doesn't get covered. They might get 5 seconds of tape during a 2 minute piece on the resolution and how democrats opposed it but it doesn't change much.

It would better to show up and vote present than be absent. But, still the republicans would say that the democrats don't know what their position on Iraq is and they would still say that the democrats effectively voted no on the resolution by voting present. No matter what the democrats do they are screwed. Hopefully, the media won't catch on to it to much, but I'm sure the republicans will try to make it a pretty big deal.

By the way there is a story on thehill.com saying that Dennis Kucinich will be absent for the vote and in Cleveland for some type of eveny honoring NASA or something like that.
