Do the Democrats have a different answer on Iran?

PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR: The vote over the Kyle-Lieberman amendment, the Senate resolution to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist
organization, essentially was followed up on by the administration when they did
declare the Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization and issued sanctions against three major Iranian banks.

The reaction in the Democratic Party was interesting, Senator Clinton being the only presidential candidate in the Senate that voted for the resolution. All the other candidates both in and out of the Senate opposed it—quite a significant split, I would say, with Joe Biden and Senator Webb, who were very, very vocal, vocally against the resolution. What do you make of what this next Democratic, well, I should say, between now and the election, the leadership of the Democratic Party?

This story is significant because the way the Democratic Party feels on ceratin topics can certainly sway the final decision.
