I was referring to the one that was put forth in the Senate based on John Kerry's proposal. Voting with Kerry were:

Boxer (D-CA)
Byrd (D-WV)
Feingold (D-WI)
Harkin (D-IA)
Kennedy (D-MA)

Rockefeller wimped out, and didn't vote. Everyone else, including the rest of the Democrats, voted against it, although some voted for a later watered-down and meaningless proposal.

Now, if you do not consider these six Senators leaders of the Democratic Party in the Senate, please let me know who you do consider the leaders.

And yes, I've heard all the bullshit about how it wasn't a "real vote" on Kerry's proposal. Nobody's buying it.

Text of the actual amendment that was being considered:

(a) Withdrawal of Troops From Iraq.--

(1) SCHEDULE FOR WITHDRAWAL.--The President shall reach an agreement as soon as possible with the Government of Iraq on a schedule for the withdrawal of United States combat troops from Iraq by December 31, 2006, leaving only forces that are critical to completing the mission of standing up Iraqi security forces.

(2) CONSULTATION WITH CONGRESS REQUIRED.--The President shall consult with Congress regarding such schedule and shall present such withdrawal agreement to Congress immediately upon the completion of the agreement.

(3) MAINTENANCE OF OVER-THE-HORIZON TROOP PRESENCE.--The President should maintain an over-the-horizon troop presence to prosecute the war on terror and protect regional security interests.
