Why is Dodd leading the FISA opposition? Where is Hillary? Other than Reid, look at the leadership.

Democratic Leadership:

<...>

Hillary Rodham Clinton, Vice Chair of Committee Outreach
As Vice Chair of Committee Outreach, Senator Clinton will work closely with Senator Bingaman in helping to coordinate the committee work of the Democratic Caucus.

<...>

Barbara Boxer, Chief Deputy Whip
As Chief Deputy Whip, Senator Boxer will continue to be responsible for managing and implementing Caucus efforts on the Senator floor. Working as the "right hand" of the Democratic Leader and Assistant Democratic Leader, Boxer plays an instrumental role in articulating, advancing and achieving the objectives of the Democratic Caucus.

<...>

Russell D. Feingold, Deputy Whip
Serving as Deputy Whips, Senators Carper, Nelson and Feingold will play critical roles in marshalling the Caucus's forces.

Boxer and Feingold did their jobs as Democratic Whips. Why isn't Hillary speaking out more on matters related to the Senate in her role as a member of the leadership? If Dodd can as a presidential Candidate, then Hillary can too. She has nothing to lose.

1. Thank goodness SOMEBODY is leading...

Just got off the phone with my Senator's office.

[ORDagnabbit]

2. Leadership in the same sentence as Reid...thats a laugh. n/t

3. I don't think she cares enough. To be fair its not just her not standing up, but would hope these

people could get on the right side of an issue and fight for once in their lives. This is so frustrating. If this was the GOP and they want some stupid ass bill of theirs to pass you can rest assured they be there fighting like hell for it. Even though what they would be fighting for would not be what the American people wanted or deserved. The American people want and deserve this bill to be defeated. Where are the friggin leaders of our party. Floundering around again accusing each other of using cocaine and other dumb crap.

4. yes, reid is smoking Dodd today

[onenote]

5. Has Bingaman been speaking out?

He is the Chairman of Committee Outreach.

[undeterred]

6. Boxer and Feingold are leaders and they care.

7. Oh so now Hillary is responsible and SHE must be there

where's the jumping bumping American Idol why isn't he there. But then if he can't show up to vote, he can't show up to filbuster.

Everything's always Hillary's fault. Damn see Hillary Haters Hillary Haters Hillary Haters.

[polichick]

8. Hillary and Obama should both be there...

...especially if they think they're ready to "hit the ground running."

[K Gardner]

9. Stop it, Bitwit.. NONE of them are there except Dodd. Fair criticism of them ALL.

Especially when Clinton holds herself out as the ONE WHO IS READY TO LEAD FROM DAY ONE, let's see her walk the walk. If she's THE ONE, she needs to be up there speaking out for us. All of them do.

10. Don't be ridiculous. Nothing in the OP says she's responsible.

Please get off the Hillary haters BS and address the issue. You're acting as if you're oppose to her getting out front on this issue, and using her leverage to thwart a bad bill!
