12. Gephardt should've resigned as minority leader in mid 2002
Edited on Thu Jun-24-04 09:49 PM by Hippo_Tron
I can accept voting for the IWR with the intention of running for president because I know what the political climate was like in late 2002. However, he should've resigned as minority leader when the whole Iraq thing started and let Pelosi lead the democrats as an anti-war voice. Unfortunately I think that he made too many self-serving moves in this situation. My guess is that he held out until after the election to decide to run for president with hopes that the democrats might win the House in 2002 and that he'd become speaker.
