Daschle said he is completely opposed to the bill but will not call for a filibuster.

He did vote 'Aye' for cloture.

My take on Daschle is always the same. He doesn't call for a filibuster ONLY when he doesn't have the votes to carry it out. I heard from various sources that the bill will pass in the Senate quite easily. So, Daschle doesn't want to stick his neck out and then lose. If he had the 60 votes, he would filibuster...it's what RATS DO these days.
