front runners

That little game of political chicken Obama and Clinton played during the Senate vote on the Iraq spending bill Thursday night.... Neither Clinton nor Obama were on the Senate floor when the voting began.... Obama was holding off to see if Hillary would go first. When it was clear she wouldn't, and time was running out on the vote, he headed into the chamber and voted no. Less than a minute later, Clinton barreled in and did the same. It was yet another example of her instinct for "followership." ...if Obama had voted yes, would she still have voted no?
