Reid to Push Repeat Wall Street Votes

To make sure the Democrats have enough campaign ad-quality footage of Republicans (and Ben Nelson) voting against their glorious financial regulation bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is planning to hold repeat episodes of yesterday's cloture vote in which Democrats failed to garner enough support to proceed: 

Sen. Harry Reid will force Republicans to vote repeatedly against Wall Street reform to put pressure GOP centrists.

A senior Democratic aide said Reid would schedule votes to end a Republican filibuster of the reform bill on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

“We need to keep the pressure up to get a deal,” said the Democratic aide.

Call you "obstructionist" GOP Senator and tell him/her to hold firm against Reid's pressure--bullying ain't gonna work this time, Harry.
