On a cloture vote, not voting is as good as voting no — cloture needs 60 affirmative votes to be invoked.

It has the same affect on the outcome of the cloture vote, but it is not just as good. Every senator should take a stand and vote so their constituents can know what their senator supports or opposes. People don't elect senators to be spectators to senate business.
