Suggestion: Ask those who vote yes or who don't want a fili. to ABSTAIN

for the good of the party.

Repubs need 60 votes for cloture, we don't need 41. So if we can get 41 votes against cloture and abstaining, we will succeed in the filibuster.

1. Hey, that was my idea!

:P

But you, and everyone else, are free to use it. Particularly if it works! Has anyone calling in to beg the turncoats tried it? And if so, what was the response?


LOL


I'm envisioning the musical 1776: "New York abstains. Courteously."
