Today he had the chance to actually vote on that question but was too busy playing politics when he would have made the difference in the Senate." I really hate when they quote that sort of crap without pointing out that it political puffery. The Republicans carefully allocated the Republican yes votes so it came up one short. If Kerry had been there, they would have had one more more Republican vote no and it still would have come up one short. Jay

The others on the list of in-favor Republicans are similarly committed. Back in March, a similar thing happened when the measure was defeated with only 58 votes - Kerry and Edwards absent. The goal is to introduce an actual bill that will only require a simple majority to pass. The previous attempts have been related to amendments to other bills. I still think the extension will ultimately pass. -drl
