Root Canal'd! Lincoln Misses DADT Vote In Dentist Chair

[RandySF]

The only Democrat who opposes repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell is Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). All others support it. So why did only 56 out of 58 Democrats vote for it today?

"Senator Lincoln didn't make it back to this vote because she was in a dentist chair, and ran back and missed it by three minutes," Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) told reporters tonight. "She was very frustrated and apologized to both of us."

"I would like to have been recorded as voting yes," Lincon said on the floor when she arrived, too late to record a vote. "Had I been here I would have voted yes."
