You mean they couldn't sober him up?

Either Daschel knew it was a lost cause, or or rather, he thought with McCain it was in the bag and in arrogance, told Teddy he could go drinking...er...swimming...er whatever.

Seems like a no confidence vote for Daschle and this puts Hillary in a higher position to become Senate minority leader

Kennedy not in town, and not paired? I think that means the Dems knew this was going down to defeat. They just went through the motions to keep the trial lawyers happy.
