McNerney's moment

87 of McNerney's House colleagues signed a letter where they pledged no new funding for escalation or continuance of the Iraq War but would fully fund safe withdrawal.

The text and co-signers of the letter are available at the link above. One of the more notable co-signers is Ellen Tauscher (D-Alamo).

McNerney failed to sign a similar letter last July.

This is rubber-meets-the-road time for McNerney. If he won't sign this time, I think he owes an explanation. The letter is supposed to be publicly released next week.
