Because one of the republican Senators has a daughter getting married tomorrow and would have to fly back rather than stay at the wedding, she is going to vote “present” so the tally stays the same.

I don’t know how I feel about it.

Apparently she was willing to vote no only if it didn't affect the outcome.

Now that I have thought about it, it is still a two point different.

I think people are having a knee jerk reaction.

There are many people who can, and they should.

On the other hand, we have a Senator with more than $8M in his treasury for his re-election campaign, his opponent has a mere SIX THOUSAND dollars, and yet he still sends out emails daily pleading for money.
