25. Her not going along with a filibuster didn't affect anything.

It would have been a purely symbolic vote.

If she had voted against cloture, we still didn't have enough votes to go all the way -- Kerry and Kennedy tried to round them up, but they just weren't there.

And your choice is to stand by while an extreme conservative wins instead, who will help solidify the Republican lock on the Senate.

Sounds like you're the one kissing the devil.
