GOP wins slim victories in the House – where are the Dems?
This Washington Post article “House GOP Practices Art Of One-Vote Victories” reviews recent legislation that has passed the House of Representatives by a single vote (and the Republican arm-twisting involved). But, in what seems like a glaring omission to me, the article fails to note that Democrats could foil legislation they oppose by just showing up for work. Dick Gephardt, in particular, has missed 91% of all floor votes this legislative session.
