The Democrats had absolutely no choice because if they oppose it (like Ted Kennedy) they get plastered by the Reps. and conservative media as "unpatriotic" and "a disaster to troop moral".... they are currently being accused of appeasing the terrorists because they oppose it.
If you think they had any other choice BUT to go along with the war, my advice to you is to stay out of politics, because you have no idea.

BWAHAHA
They were concerned about losing a re-election bid, much like history will prove. Voting your conscience seems to be a faux paus when it comes to re-election bids doesn't it? I said it last night. I give Ted Kennedy props for voting his conscience, although I hate his politics I respect the fact he voted on what he felt was right. The rest of the "Nuveau anti-war" democrats are self serving assbags who care more about thier seats in congress and future presidential asperations thier thier 'true' conscience. Kudos to Ted Kennedy...Shame on the rest of them
