Close (roll) call!
Well, the override didn't happen. It came down to a handful of Republicans in Congress who refused to budge-- and do the right thing in overriding Bush's S-CHIP veto. We did pick up a substantial number of new votes, from Republicans who preferred facing the wrath of big medicine to the righteous anger of the voters.
Sadly, there were still too many Rethugs who bought into the Bushies cynical argument-- that this shameful vote could be spun away before the Fall of 2008. There's going to be a fall of 2008 allright-- the fall of a shameless, hypocritical party that has spent the last few years running our nation into the ground.
