GOP senator: DeVos 'has not yet earned my full support'

6. If so, her greatest leverage was on the committee vote - which was completely party line

had she voted with the Democrats - it would have been 12/11 AGAINST recommending. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/betsy-devos-education-secretary-nomination_us_588f77bbe4b02772c4e80681 She alone had the ability to swing the vote! Had Collins, who made a similar statement voted no, it would have been 13/10 AGAINST confirming.

I suspect that this might be like the many brave Democrats who refused to filibuster Alito, but voted against him --- when the only way to stop him was the filibuster vote.

The committee vote is suppose to be a vote that is designed to inform the rest of the Senate by those with the experience and background on those issues and who were part of the hearings. I suspect these comments are because they KNEW she should not be confirmed and they will point to these "brave" comments.
