120. If you go by the health insurance bill, I'm wondering exactly which Senators did not try to play.

both sides.

Republican Senators put up a much bigger fight in the media than they did on the floor of the Senate.

Senators like Feingold and Sanders opposed the contents of the bill until a day or two before they voted for it.

The Blue Dogs and DLC/New Democrats extracted every drop they could for the insurers and big health care providers while getting praised by Reid, Obama and their fellow Democratic Senators for doggedly working for "reform."

Everyone sure talks a good game, though.
