Fortune Favors ...
Joe Biden saw his Iraq amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill pass the Senate this afternoon by a 75-23-2 vote. Passage wasn't just seen as a victory for Biden but a chance to get his '08 opponents on the record about his Iraq plan. Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, and Sam Brownback (who signed on as a co-sponsor) all voted for the plan. But Barack Obama and John McCain didn't vote on the measure. It will be interesting to see how Biden, who has tied his presidential fortune to the war in Iraq, responds. He's holding a presser on Capital Hill this afternoon. [EMILY GOODIN]
