Reid accidentally votes no on health care
http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/03/26/reid.vote.gaffe/index.html?hpt=P1

Washington (CNN) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid mistakenly called out "no" Thursday when asked for his vote on the health care reconciliation bill, setting the chamber howling with laughter.

Reid voted the wrong way when the clerk called for his vote, realized his error and quickly changed his vote to "yes."

"He did it again," someone said amid laughter.

Reid, who spent months persuading fellow senators to vote "yes" on President Obama's top domestic priority, made the same mistake December 24 when voting on the original health care bill.

1. Dyslexic voting. I have direction issues so I sympathize with Reid. I take a left
with my car when the directions say right. And vice versa.

5. Not paying attention. Taxpayers not getting the most value for their
dollar. Replace him.

6. He's got a lot on his mind with his wife being injured. Give him a break.

8. Wives get injured every day. If the husband cannot stand the pressure
he should excuse himself from the job until he can.

3. I was watching. It was intentional. He had a grin on his face. He's done this before.
