"made a deal" ne "sold you out"
I define being sold out as being betrayed for a price.
'd prefer to see an effective politician who agrees with me with a lost battle he didn't suicide on than an ineffective politician with a lost battle that he did suicide on. (The same goes for soldiers and real battles.) Therefore declining to futily limit his ability to act does not constitute a betrayal.
With no betrayal, there was no selling me out.
Cheers,
Ben

But Byrd had little to lose either way.
He's Senator for Life, and he's made enough remarks about Bush and the Republican leadership that everyone knows where he stands. He could have called for a vote without much damage if he wanted.
It's not as if he was a freshman senator who had to worry about re-election....
As you say, he knew the result was a foregone conclusion. It wasn't worth the effort to call a roll vote, but wouldn't have been "suicide" if he had. IMO.
Cheers,
Scott.

What I meant by suicide...
He would have pissed off people he has to try to get cooperation with, and pissed off people are unlikely to cooperate with you in the future. That doesn't change his presence in the Senate, but it will mean that he can get less done there.

Ben

Give a man a match, he'll be warm for a minute.
Set him on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
