Well, do you think they aren't thinking of their political future right now? Of course they are. They are politicians. And again, there's nothing wrong with that. If I was a politician, I'd do everything I could to get re-elected. After all, you can't have as much impact if you aren't re-elected. Right now, those Dems are weighing their options and they will vote based on what they think it will do for them in November. If they were all just thinking about helping Americans, then they would have passed this thing long ago. But it stalled out, precisely because many of them got cold feet after Scott Brown's election, because they thought it might have November consequences. Those are the facts.
