1. I was pretty surprised by her vote
she usually votes "correctly" so I'd be happy to trade her for my "Democratic" Senator Bill Nelson who can always be counted on to vote the wrong way....

3. I really don't get it
maybe she traded a vote with one of the Dem Presidential candidates - they apparently needed 60 votes to pass this thing and how convenient they got exactly that....seems fisy to me....

9. The Republicans had several not voting they could have called in
such as Lott, Lugar, Gregg and even McCain.

10. I have just emailed to ask for her explanation
elected reps just cannot do an about turn like that. Perhaps she is retiring next time round?

6. I am surprised that she voted that way; she's pretty on top of things.
We may yet find out why.

7. All of you with Dems for senators that voted for this atrocity need to
Edited on Sat Aug-04-07 03:44 PM by MasonJar
rain down an avalanche on their phone lines every day if need be for the next 6 months. I am unfortunately the un-proud recipient of McConnell and Bunning mania. I will blanket McConnell with complaints, but he will not notice....although he is running in '08, which gives us dems a little (very little) leverage at least in the short term.
