I don't have the same problem with that. In a democracy, it's a little odd to suggest that there's something wrong with scheduling a vote on whether to go to war right before an election.
My problem with that vote goes more to the separation of powers. Congress shouldn't have been voting so early. If the GOP leadership had had any spine, and had opted to play their constitutional role instead of seeing themselves as members of Bush's team, they would have pushed it back.
