Kerry and Edwards need to resign the Senate

[ATFFL]

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.

And Kerry could stay.  Any longer delay would have been damaging to the GOP.  A longer delay would also strengthen the image that Kerry had some core values.
