Yeah...I really get this impression that just because their friends are doing something, they feel the need to follow suit!

that the role of the House was to represent the views of their constituents, and Senators were to be above local considerations and work toward what was best for the nation. Senators were supposed to be the "wise men" (and women, of course) of the legislature, above politics. What a joke that turned out to be.

But I guess John McCain's death sentence has caused him to examine what he stands for, and I hope his no vote indicates that he is going to consult his conscience, not the polls, while he is still able to work.
