We control the Senate and thus the legislative agenda, and therefore we can keep both senators tied up in DC (and off the campaign trail) for all of September if the RATS go down this lane.

Tell that to John Edwards; he missed 80 percent of the votes since October 2003.

If they miss the votes, the AWOL label becomes a campaign issue. In fact, this is one of the key shortcomings of nominating Kerry -- he is a sitting duck in September in the Senate -- we are going to make him vote on making the tax cuts permanent, on judges, on defense appropriations, on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, etc. Senate procedure will be used to destroy him. Either way he votes, he loses... either he enrages his base or alienates the middle of the American electorate.

Missed 80% of the votes......WOW
Add that to the fact that the answer to my tagline is zero and it sure doesn't look like he's been doing his job!

Mass should FIRE HIM!
