The only two Senators not to vote in the Gay Marriage roll call yesterday...

They have their priorities... are they yours?

Umm, who cares? By not being there, they implicity voted against closure, and that failed by 12 votes. Only 48 were voting for closure. 67 are needed to pass a constitutional amendment. Kerry and Edwards being there wouldn't have changed a damn thing.

I learned recently that on one ocassion Kerry flew into Washington to vote on vetrens benefits bill but was denied the opportunity.  


He was not denied the opportunity at all.  If it meant enough to him he could have stayed for the vote the next day.

Sticking around for teh vote would have been a huge plus for him.  It would have shown an actual core belief for once.  The delay could have backfired huge on the GOP if Kerry was willing to truly stand up for the issue.

The GOP could have delayed it another day.
