Not Hagel. Check your facts.

You are correct.

I was quoting CNN Radio News, which reported on Rush's Newsbreak immediately after the vote.

They also had the percentages reversed. Glad I didn't quote those.

You are correct.

Well, I wasn't looking to gloat. Just that a few of us go to some effort to keep Hagel and Nelson within certain boundaries (moderate/right) and we don't want them to get any black eyes unless they have it coming to them. Even then, it's better if we give them the black eye here at home.

You'd have to live in one of the puny states to understand how this works. You may notice that there are certain states whose senators don't obey their national party? Well, this is one of them. And they were both prepared to continue the debate and to pass it.

Okay, now the rest of you guys get busy and make your senators do the same.
