Well shut my mouth wide open! Before most people on my list have had a chance to read my last letter about the “interest” in the Senate vote on the Ryan plan, the vote takes place and is being treated by the media with a minimum of attention. That shows how much I know.
In retrospect this makes sense. The only ten Republican Senate seats at stake next year are held by people who survived the Democratic landslide of 2006 and therefore can be considered safe. But I predict (don’t make any bets on my predictions) that the fact that forty of forty seven Republicans voted for the House bill, five voted against and two were apparently absent, will receive considerable mention by Democrats before next year’s election.
