1. Now we'll see where this latest Cheney calamity is polling among
Senators. If they vote for it, it means that the incident is currying favor toward Cheney. If they vote against it, it means that they recognize that something smells to high heaven in Texas, and that this is going to have a negative impact on the upcoming elections.

3. Here we go!
It's gonna be close. I wonder if Cheney will have to come break a tie. He will have to check in his weapons before entering the chamber.
