14. The problem with Obama's IWR stance is that he had nothing to lose at the time

I am by no means defending Edwards or Clinton's votes, but Obama was a state legislator for chrissakes. What did anyone really care about his opinion? It was a much a political calculation E and C's votes. If it wasn't for a fortuitous abuse/sex scandal, he likely would not be in the Senate right now and certainly wouldn't be running for president - he beat Alan Keyes for crying out loud! My Schnauzer could beat Alan Keyes in an election for city dog catcher.
