Uh-oh, Johnny is going to face a dilemma in September...
Senate Dems to force equal pay vote on McCain
"Democrats have hammered Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) this summer over his vote against legislation pushing equal pay for women and men. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act will get a second act in September, as Democrats seek to remind voters that McCain opposed it, according to an e-mail from the Democratic Senate message center. It lists "qual pay legislation" as among the issues the Senate will take up in September."

7. Then Good For Him
good for him if he votes for it. Even better if it passes. Of course, he probably won't vote (he'll have a campaign stop and/or military base visit that day). Still, we should push McSame and Palin to comment on the issue...

3. So now Reid learns to play the game?
Maybe Palin, lit a fire under his ass.

How about bringing another minimum wage increase to the floor also?

5. Isn't that why he chose a woman as VP? He only has to pay her 2/3 the salary.
