And, if they believed it was more important for their electoral prospects to be where they are as opposed to casting a meaningless vote in the Senate, I'm good with that.
Meaningless to the outcome, but important symbolically. I’ll bet if one had voted but not the other, the voting senator’s camp would be all over the other one. Other than that at this point it’s too early for me to give a damn about their electoral prospects. I want them to do their job which includes getting their vote on the record so that there’s no room for equivocation later when electoral prospects actually are in play. Maybe somebody who follows these candidates obsessively can tell us where they were and what they were doing today.
