Just heard it on The Young Turks. One of the callers got that statement from one of his staffers, so still very unofficial, but potentially very good news!!!! Mark Pryor one of the gang of 14, abstaining!

10. same as voting "no" on cloture....
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 02:22 PM by samhsarah
and if the gang of 14 stuck together and all voted yes for cloture, it would be all over. done deal. but apparently, that is NOT the case.

12. Pryor had nothing to lose by abstaining.
Solid position in Arkansas, would be very hard to defeat, AFAIK.

Good for him! Time to call his office and commend. :thumbsup:
