Heather won by about 800 votes after ten-days of waiting the the Rats trying to pull a Florida by counting every challenged vote. She is independent of the White House and has been critical of our policies in Iraq, telling her concerns directly to the White House. But she is also a veteran and an Air Force Academy graduate. She may not agree with specifics of our policy but understands the signals such a resolution sends to the radicals in Iraq and elsewhere in the middle east.
I made note, Cedar Dave, that Heather Wilson voted against this travesty. She was trashed a couple of days ago on FR; I thought I would "wait and see." Glad she gets it.
