"Second, 2 of the three who were up for reelection are not in the least bit vulnerable in their states (Byrd and Nelson), so they weren't voting to save their seats"

Byrd is vulnerable alright.
That';s why he's been relatively quiet since some polls came out a last year ago showing his support slipping.
He was voting according to the wishes of his constituents and to save his seat in a relatively conservative state.

Let me guess...this is from another one of your secret polls. Real polls indicate he currently enjoys a 65% approval rating in his state.
