"Underscoring his “90 percent conservative voting record,” he said he disagrees with those who would have him spurn Democrats when the good of the country requires him to work with them."That's all well and good, but when something as important as this is part of the 10%, don't be surprised when the people who put you into office get pissed.
I think after hearing him on television the past couple of days... that he is hoping the senate dems break the deal and support a filibuster, so he can vote to nuke it and get back in good graces. I think he expected some flack... but didn't expect to take the hits he's been getting.
I also think he won't be re-elected.
