For those keeping track at home, 172 Democrats voted for it, 63 voted against. 91 Republicans voted for it, 108 against. Since this bill was from a Republican Administration, it canhardly be said that McCain provided the "leadership" and was responsible for its passage. Not saying Obama can take any credit, but McCain should shut up, if he hasn't already, about doing anything that helped this pass.

Advantage here since McCain doesn't have a formally recognized group to call GOP Senators have their martyr cards out "Republican Rep. Sue Myrick of North Carolina, who switched her vote to favor the measure, looked ahead to the election and said, "I may lose this race over this vote, but that's OK with me. This is the right vote for the country." Of course if it fails they will all claim they never'really' supported it They can all heap it on Bush - somuch on that pile anyway - who'd notice
