Assuming that when you say "good for the dairy industry" you mean the small dairy farmers and independent dairies, I think it would be a stain on the GOP to booger this bill simply as political payback against Jeffords. The doggone idiots should set politics aside now and then and just plain do the right thing if it's the right thing to do.
I know it doesn't work that way, but I hate it when they constantly act like morons just for the sake of proving that one group of morons has more political power than the other group of morons.
