What republican didn’t vote?
Makes no difference in a cloture vote. All the republicans could have stayed home (except one, to object to a unanimous consent request). They needed 60 votes.
Anyway, did anybody see if they wheeled Byrd in on a stretcher, and if someone helped him cast his vote?
Could it be Kay Baily didn’t vote?
Ohio Ping
Fortunately Voinovich is retiring after this term.
Maybe we can elect a real Republican.
