Actually, I guess it was Edwards who spoke and didn't stay. Kerry didn't show up at all, so neither of them voted. That was why it was 48-50, rather than 48-52.

He showed up and didn't vote?????

"He showed up and didn't vote?????"

That's what I understand. A FoxNews.com story on the subject said that:

"Edwards was the guest speaker at the House Democrat's weekly caucus Wednesday but didn't stay for the vote."
