One has to wonder if Kerry was set up by someone on the 'Rat Party. Carville would be smart enough to pull this off.
Problem with that logic is that this kind of loss makes all of the 'Rats look pretty bad.
I don't like to assume stupidity is the reason for something like this, but it's hard to avoid that conclusion. Sucks to be Mr. Ed or Ted!!
I thought a close cloture vote made sense because they could tell the moonbats they tried and the moonbats wouldn't be mad at the party, just the blue state dims who defected. This way, the moonbats are as mad at their own party as they are at us. The Ditch Witch is even talking about handing Feinstein a primary challenge.
Maybe there is a logic to the Kerry/Kennedy strategy, but I'm not seeing it yet.
(Did you know Kerry served in Vietnam?)
