Antiwar pressures are growing on Republican Sens. John Sununu, Susan Collins, Norm Coleman, and Gordon Smith -- All face reelection next year!
E. J. Dionne explains why the House passage of the troop withdrawal plan in the supplemental appropriations bill is "hugely significant," and why Bush is his own, and his party's, worst enemy.
Looming constitutional crisis or not, Dionne notes that the Senate is very close to having enough votes to pass the plan for troop withdrawals in 2008.
With most counts showing Senate Democrats needing only one more vote to approve the call for troop withdrawals next year, antiwar pressures are growing on Sens. John Sununu (R-N.H.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Norm Coleman (R-Minn.). All face reelection next year, as does Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.), who is already seen as leaning toward the withdrawal plan.
