DISCLOSE Act fails on 57-41 cloture vote

[Chris_]

Sen. Charles Schumer, the sponsor of the stalled campaign finance bill, promised Tuesday that Democrats would hold round-after-round of votes on it until it passes.

Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke to reporters following the weekly caucus luncheons, slamming Republicans for holding up the response to the Citizens United Supreme Court case, which allowed unlimited political spending by corporations and unions.

“And we will go back at this bill again and again and again until we pass it,” he said. “It’s that vital, not to Democrats, not to Republicans, but to the future of people’s faith in the functioning of this government.”

I like the way they're described - Snow, Collins, and Graham:

"squishy"

Loaded diapers are squishy, come to think of it.

They know that getting this passed and in effect soon is the only hope for the Dems.  Even after November they'll keep trying during the lameduck session just to help Dear Leader in 2012.

And usually for the same reason that Snow, Collins and Graham are.
