Response to Original message |
| 4. Durbin called out McCain a little earlier about him not being there to vote |
|
Said that he needs to come back and vote on a Medicare bill, and for this of course. Durbin said he doesn't know how McCain will vote, but he needs to vote to show where he stands.
Oh, and Rockefeller's time is coming out of the republican side. Interesting.
