Well, they actually didn't need Graham. Goss got 77 votes. Even without Graham, they had more than the 60 votes needed to avoid a filibuster.
Graham did vote for Goss, though. Just kinda interesting . . .

OK...I'll use it too. Might as well get something for our tax $$$$'s. I can't always use it when I want to send dirty fax letters or yell at them in there own state or district...but when it's in DC I'll use it.
That # is only for their DC offices correct?

Even without Graham, they had more than the 60 votes needed to avoid a filibuster.If they had been able to get Graham to pull his support for Goss, the Rats would have been able to rush to the media and proclaim, "Senator Graham has worked with Goss for years and years, and he's a senator from Goss' home state, so if Bob Graham has doubts I have to consider that" and yada yada yada. They would have been able to get a lot more than 17 to vote against the confirmation then - in fact, they would have easily gotten more than 40 and thus would have been able to filibuster.
My guess is they'll pursue Plan B - watch Goss like a hawk, and the instant he does or says something they don't like, pounce on it and try to make it into a scandal so they can demand his resignation.
