Murkiwski and Collins vote no. McCain just got off the plane.

His vote will determine it. He will make a statement first and speak to reporters.

Honestly, he looked peaked and seemed tone making an effort.

How can he cast the deciding vote to let this travesty move forward...*sigh*

If I thought it was an actual, thoughtful debate I might be more in favor.
