Today's Cloture Vote on Owen

Obviously, some current members of the Senate were not part of the Senate for the last Owen vote, but it is clear that a handful of Democrats who were not part of the compromise (e.g., Hillary Clinton, Herb Kohl) now decided to vote in favor of cloture for Owen.

I realize a deal has been struck, but why Democrats who are not a part of that deal felt compelled to help overwhileming invoke cloture on Owen when they just spent the last four years preventing it is beyond me.

Wankers.

2. Really. What were they thinking?

Maybe..."Enough with the debating, let's get to the vote already." I dunno.
