''In the Illinois state Senate, Senator Obama voted 130 times 'present.'
That's not yes, that's not no. That's maybe,'' Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a debate Monday

Senator Clinton said that like voting "Maybe" is a bad thing.

I understand the "maybe" vote to mean that you'd vote yes IF some problems are cleared up. It's a way of returning a bill to commitee for some fine-tuning. Too bad Senator Clinton couldn't have voted "Maybe" on the IWR until it was made clear that Bush wasn't being authorized to invade until certain conditions were met.

1. Even the Chicago Tribune has said it is a way of dodging
a committment on either side of an issue.

This is how you remain all things to all people. He has mastered
that of which he acuses Hilary---it seems. He does what he accuses
Hilary of doing. GWB and Rove strategy.
