If they defeat the first cloture vote all the pressure will be off the red state dems.
The next cloture vote durbin will be able to turn around more votes.
How in the world for the most important vote in this congress do you wait until the last second to leave.
Ensign left at 11 a.m dc time from across the country. Any mishap and he won't make the vote. He could miss countless other votes but I just wish for a vote like this they would not leave anything to chance.
