KEY BLOCK----- Just to be really clear about what the women Senators would be saying... we are trying to get them to make the point that HRC was NOT an outlier voting with Wall Street, but rather than they all were working together to try to make improvements to the bill for women and children and so strategically moved the bill forward and then all the liberal Dems voted against it when it came back in 2005 (as HRC would have done and put out a statement out but for WJC's heart attack). We are NOT, however, re-litigating whether we made enough progress on women and children issues to justify the vote..... but I think it is critical that we make really, really clear that HRC was not alone. I will get up and get on 8 am ET call in case there are questions and I'll try to get the Mikulski and Murray statements before then so we at least know what they'd be saying if we need to or want to deploy.
