In October 2002, if I was looking for a stand-up Democrat with b*lls of steel it would have been Russ Feingold who addressed the lion's den in the Senate and laid out the stark truth about why going into Iraq was wrong. His argument was salient, truthful and his "No" vote matched his words and his convictions. We call this integrity.
The Weasel Word Queen on the other hand voted "Yes" while lacing her floor speech with internal contradiction saying "If we were to attack Iraq now, alone or with few allies, it would set a precedent that could come back to haunt us." and went on to say "So Mr. President, for all its appeal, a unilateral attack, while it cannot be ruled out, on the present facts is not a good option."
Hillary Clinton then quietly voted "Yes" on the resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq.
Once you lose your integrity, it's all down hill from there.
