8. I've been getting email from Sherrod Brown...

... ever since contributing to his 2006 run.

For the last few days, it's been "this deal stinks, we're fighting it, etc."

Today, it was "this deal stinks, but I voted for it."

Kerry was for something before he was against it. These days people are for something while they're against it.

I know it's a tough vote, but if enough of the people who supposedly hate the deal but still voted for it actually made a fuss, maybe they'd actually be able to do something about it. If nothing else, each No vote gives more bargaining power to the House Dems.
