The Sixth Sense: I see Gutless People!

Sometimes it's strategy.

For instance, I'm pretty sure Bilbray would vote no.

They wait back because some people will vote, then rush up and change their vote at the last minute so they wait to counter the people who change their votes. Remember, there was a big fight in the House over this a few years ago? The vote was changed after it was announced and the motion failed or passed but they change it. The Republicans walked out.

Why wouldn't Gingrey and Bilbray vote?

They were playing safety net. Before it was over, it became mathematically impossible for passage to fail, so they withheld their vote to the end in case someone switched on them.

This is not unusual. It happens all the time in close votes.

I believe a lot of the Dem yes votes were from reps voted out of office. That was true in my district - Melissa Bean was voted out because she wasn't listening to the people in her district. This was probably her way of getting back at us.

was the dream act attached to this bill,. cuz what im seeing on Thomas.gov does not give me any indication this is dream act stuff
