A Call for a McNerney Response

It seems pretty clear that many people in the netroots who worked hard for Jerry, donated time and time again are pretty upset with the new Representative today.  Heck, even Ellen Tauscher found a way to vote to get us out of Iraq today.

No Representative will ever be perfect, especially those in more moderate districts.  But this was a vote of conscious today and McNerney failed that test.  I think all those who walked those precincts, threw Jerry fundraisers and made calls on his behalf deserve an explanation for his vote today.
There was not a lot of time for us to get a chance to help whip votes on this legislation.  Personally, I think that is why I feel so blindsided on this.  There was no indication until just shortly before the vote that McNerney might be a no.

I doubt that many of us will be satiated by any response, but it will help repair the damage done today.

Please join my in calling for an explanation in the comments and on your own blogs.

[UPDATE] I just sent an email to his Chief of Staff, who I met at the Brew House, with a link to the above and MyDD, FDL and DWT response posts.  I am sure Eden is around reading the response.  Hopefully, we can get a response today or tomorrow.
