Senator Inhofe has naihled it. The Census and counting illegals towards how Reps a state gets has made Middle America except for TX not have as much power. In the Senate where each State is equal, the RATs/ZERO cannot get the votes for passage.
We need to thank Norm Coleman for putting up such a fight and it needs to continue awhile longer for one thing. Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd are not sitting in the Senate due to health reasons and they already have Spector.
You are not going to see Ben Nelson D-NE or even the Dakota Senators vote YES on this one. I think it would be hard to get any votes out of oil or farm country. There is already an article on Landrieu of LA voting NO because she has no choice.
Senator Inhofe is 100% correct, but that doesn’t mean that all of us don’t need to keep after the Senate will full force.
Best guess is that this will be delayed until after the August recess and it will never pass. Pelosi shot herself in the foot on this one along with 8 Republicans who allowed 8 Dems to vote that would have voted yes under the direction of Queen Pelosi.
I wonder if Boehner and Cantor knew most of those 8 Repubs were going to vote for the measure? By that I mean do they represent more blue districts and had to do it? I don’t know.
I hope Specter has to go on record voting for this monstrosity, because Toomey will nail him to the wall over it. Eastern PA won’t care, but western PA, where the coal region is, should.
