Tim Russert & Mike Gravel

Keeps asking the candidates if they can pledge to have all troops out of Iraq by a particular date. Again with the sound biteism.

Mike Gravel is saying the forty consecutive days of voting in Congress would result in an end to the war in Iraq. He says if the votes aren't there, the senators should grap their colleagues by the neck and get the votes.

I'm going to need to investigate what Iran related resolution the Senate voted on today. Mike Gravel congratulated Biden and Dodd for voting against it, said he was ashamed of Hillary (who voted for it) and Obama (who wasn't even there to vote).

Biden just tried to start clarifying what the vote was actually about (apparently Gravel didn't correctly explain - though I didn't understand his explanation to begin with), and Tim Russert interrupted to say the discussion was over. Yes. Let's not actually explain anything.
