Re: How Many Senators Would Have Voted Otherwise?
[ QUOTE ]
So it makes no difference to you/us if all senators are for prohibiting internet gambling, some are and some are not, or a few are or most are? It makes no difference to us which senators support bans on internet gambling and which senators are against it?

bkholdem,
His perspective accounts for the fact that there are two steps:
(1) Get it to the floor in a given form
(2) Vote
(Step 1) is done by only the most determined, and when done right, as by Frist, it makes Step 2 a nonissue. This is why pork passes that would normally be voted down 93-7.
As far as the OP, I think I see what he's getting at, and I think it's a given that the direct approach, a tidal wave of popularity, won't work.
