What's really funny is that the RATs were phoning and faxing and e-mailing all of the Senators, all weekend, trying to convince them that, if they weren't going to vote against cloture, then abstain altogether so that the Good Guys wouldn't get the 60 votes needed. I guess they don't understand that the general public -- at least, the ones who are paying attention -- would see that the same way they would see an outright "no" vote.
Exactly-- but they're DUmmies for a reason, and it's certainly not because they're living in a "reality-based" community. LOL.
