acquired a reputation as a hawk for her work on the Armed Services Committee

voted in favor of the Iraq war and against Democratic amendments, and also joined Republicans on several defense appropriation bills

she has been wise enough to protect her Democratic credentials on certain domestic issues, such as opposing the Bush tax cuts, and last year's irresponsible Medicare drug bill.
