Did the Democrats miss an opportunity to put Cheney on the spot?
What did they have to lose? If the vote on the bill had been split 50-50, Cheney would have been forced to be the tie-breaker. If only 49 Dems had voted against it, it still would have passed.

If the bill failed, the Democrats would have succeeded in standing up to Bush. There is absolutely no jeopardy to the troops on the ground.
