Candidates likely to skip bailout vote

Congress is poised to vote on the biggest government intervention in the financial markets since the Great Depression, but it’s unlikely that any of the three senators vying for the White House will be there – even though all three have talked of little else for over a week.

If you don't vote you can't bitch.

1. It depends on what the count is....

I'm sure if they need to be there, they will be. If it's a close vote. If it's not, then I don't see the need for them to be there.

Just my 2 cents.

2. Is a vote scheduled?

There you have it.

3. The Senate will probably be in session during Friday's debate. (But Biden really should vote)

4. Obama and BIden should be there to show voters they know this is important.
