The way I see it, the Dems get exactly what they deserve.
From Fox News (but I also saw it in the NY Times)
Democrats tried to attach the benefit to a corporate tax bill. On a 59-40 vote in the GOP-controlled Senate, they fell just shy of the 60 votes needed to overcome objections that extending the benefits violated last year's budget agreement.
Mass. Sen. John Kerry (search), the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, was the only senator who missed the vote. Kerry was campaigning Tuesday in Kentucky.
There's your "man of the people" looking out for the poor saps who are floundering in the most awful economy since the beginning of time! Yes, the ONLY senator who didn't vote, and the one vote that would have carried the bill. What a schlub!
