Sorry, I disagree, force a vote now, make them defend thier no's at home with the voters.

I don't know what everyone's problem is with Byrd doing this. Putting the vote off a week works to the GOP's advantage: it's an additional week where the focus on the war vote will prevent the Democrats from demagauging the economy, medicare, social security, etc.

In his senility, Byrd is actually doing the GOP a HUGE favor ... allowing the President to play to his strengths going into the elections.
