He has 53 rat votes but only 50 stayed with him. He lost 3 votes after he insisted on reading some cowboy poetry in his caucus meeting.
Perhaps he actually hesitated and determined that he couldn't afford the poetry at this time?
Are you serious? Does he have a thing for cowboys? He complained about the cowboy poetry festival losing funding. Next, he will insist the Senate all watch brokeback mountain. This has to be a joke.
He may have lost more than that. Until I see the names, I’ll be convinced that those such as Snowe, Collins, Graham, McCain, Kirk, Scott Brown and the doofus from Oregon all voted with the Democrats, and their hearts.
