He voted no because any Dem who voted "yea" would be immediately our of contention for the Dem nomination in '08.
Somebody forgot to tell Slimegold that :-)
I know, he angers me so. I have e-mailed him so many times on issues, he gives me the usual "lip service". The thing that drives me the most crazy is, when he is in the state, he gives all of my fellow Hoosiers what they want to hear, then goes to DC and does the exact opposite! For the life of me, how do they elect him!!!!! He didn't and never will get my vote.
