Thank you for your clarification and my apologies to Sen. Voinovich, however a NO VOTE certainly appears much stronger! Under your logic, the NO VOTERS really wasted their time and could have already been winging their ways home for Turkey Day! I still believe he owed it to AMERICA and his own Ethics to VOTE!
I would agree with you that a no vote would have had a stronger symbolic impact and I do wish that he had actually voted no.
