Senate to Repeal Authorization for War?

From today's WaPo:

Senate Democratic leaders intend to unveil a plan next week to repeal the 2002 resolution authorizing the war in Iraq in favor of narrower authority that restricts the military's role and begins withdrawals of combat troops.

That can't be good news for the Clinton campaign.

Speaking of the Clinton campaign, I'll weigh in on the recent Geffen-Hillary-Obama flap. I know many have given points to Hillary on that exchange, but I think anytime the press is printing stories reminding everyone of the worse things about the Clinton campaign (the midnight pardons, cigars, intern blow jobs, etc...) it's not a good media week for Hillary.

And now this move by the Senate is going keep Hillary's vote on the 2002 resolution alive along with speculation about how she will vote on the new resolution...if the Democrats can pull it off, which is also doubtful.
