I saw on NRO yesterday the following from a lefty website:

SECOND, call the "URGE ABSTENTION" Senators identified immediately below and do the same -- say that you hope they vote NO on cloture this afternoon but if they can't, urge them to ABSTAIN from the cloture vote by visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Hospital at 4:30 p.m. Doing so will be just as good as a "no" vote but will give them political cover with their conservative voters back home. Again, call their DC AND District offices. And again, if their staff will commit to a position on cloture and/or abstention, please post a comment here.

By coincidence, Harkin was at Walter Reed yesterday. Nice way to use the troops for your political cover Senator Harkin. I do not know if Hagel was with him.

"urge them to ABSTAIN from the cloture vote by visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Hospital at 4:30 p.m."

Nice coordinated effort. Harkin let it be known that he was going to abstain.
