Webb

Update: According to Think Progress, McCain - supporter of the troops, veteran hero - skipped the vote to be at a high-dollar fundraiser.

You stay classy, McCain.

MC Joan over at Daily Kos is reporting that the Webb Amendment (aka the 21st Century GI Bill) just passed 75 - 22. Good news today. Now we wait to see about a Bush Veto. I believe that's what we call veto proof . . .

Update: Voting on the first amendment now. There are a lot of Republicans, and not just those worried about reelection (though mostly) supporting it. This amendment contains domestic initiatives including the Webb bill.

Update 2: Wow. Passed 75-22. The Webb bill moves forward. They did their jobs! Veto that, Georgie Boy!

Update 3: They are now voting on the second amendment that provides both funding for Iraq and Afghanistan and contains war policy provisions.
