On the Campaign Trail with Ed Tibbetts

The Dems on Iraq

Thursday, April 26th, 2007 6:06 pm

Other than Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich and ex-Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, the presidential candidates don’t look too eager to engage each other.

Clinton gave her usual near-mea culpas on Iraq. Edwards apologized again and, using Clinton’s name, said essentially it’s up to her whether she wants to apologize or not.

Obama reminded folks he opposed the war to begin with.

Kucinich, who not only opposed the war but also voted against funding it, faulted the others for voting for war spending bills, like today’s in the Senate.

Clinton and Obama both emphasized the need to gain the additional Senate (read: Republican) support to overcome a presidential veto.
