In my opinion, I think Kerry should have made some sort of effort to make the vote and get this passed. I, however, do not know the specifics. What was the turnaround time on the vote? i.e. how much in advance did the Senators know this vote was going to be held. Often, when there is a controversial issue, the party in power speeds up the process or slows it down to prevent certain parties from being there. I have no proof that this is what happened, but I would not rule it out - does anyone have any info on this?
Also, I think that for the long term stability and prosperity of this nation, it is more important that Kerry be out there working to get elected and getting President Bush out of the White House. Essentially, he is robbing Peter to pay Paul, something every one who is an elected official who is running for office has to do.
