The reason why I bring this up yet again is because of something Harry Reid said today on MSNBC. Check out the video.
Did you catch it? If not go back to about the 1:20 mark.
When speaking on Arlen Specter, Harry Reid made this statement.
“On procedural votes he will be with us all the time”
Do you know what "procedural vote" means? Cloture, thats what. Now considering the amount of weaksauce Harry Reid exhibits on a regular basis you of course have to take this with a grain of salt. Still Reid made the statement with a confidence that seems to belie a deal having been made. Arlen Specter is no doubt a weasel and he has taken saying one thing and doing another to an artform. Still I don't care if he votes against certain measures as long as he votes for cloture and then as long as they get passed with a simple majority. This shouldn't make people jump up and shout but it should temper at least some of the dissappointment expressed thus far by the lefty blogosphere.
