Some of these guys could smell the coffee on this vote. Some were changing their vote once they saw it would not pass. “If it’s not going to pass, then I’ll vote no”.
BTW, here are all the Repubs up for reelection in 08’.
Lamar Alexander of Tennessee
Saxby Chambliss of Georgia
Norm Coleman of Minnesota
Susan Collins of Maine
John Cornyn of Texas
Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina
Pete Domenici of New Mexico
Michael Enzi of Wyoming
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
Pat Roberts of Kansas
Jeff Sessions of Alabama
Gordon Smith of Oregon
Ted Stevens of Alaska
John Sununu of New Hampshire
True, I think my senator Larry Craig falls in that group. If true he'll hear me at the ballot box.
