1. I think it's because if he's on the winning side... |

...he can bring up the vote again. I heard something about this during the nuclear option thing.

2. Actually it was during the last cloture vote on Bolton last week |

that he did it, not the nuclear option.
But yes, he did it because that ensures him the right to call a vote again.

'up or down vote' and 'sharecropper's daughter'. I guess the daughter one will finally be put away --but not for the reason i wanted it stopped!

Frist was just speeding the inevitable loss of the cloture vote so he could get on with his roto-rooter servicing of America.
