Another Republican (Pete Domenici) begins to back away from the war, suddenly voicing support for redeployment. Don't get it twisted. These guys could give a damn about the troops (in my opinion). They care about their reelections, and in 2008, they don't want to have to run on the war. Domenici is up for reelection in 2008, along with several other GOP Senators who are now "evolving on Iraq." The list (with the newly doubtful highlighted): - Lamar Alexander of Tennessee
- Saxby Chambliss of Georgia
- Norm Coleman of Minnesota
- Susan Collins of Maine
- John Cornyn of Texas
- Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina
- Pete Domenici of New Mexico
- Michael Enzi of Wyoming
- Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
- Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma
- Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
- Pat Roberts of Kansas
- Jeff Sessions of Alabama
- Gordon Smith of Oregon
- Ted Stevens of Alaska
- John Sununu of New Hampshire
