Senate Votes for 'Booze and Balloons'
The Senate just voted down one of Coburn's amendments, 44-52. The rider to the Iraq emergency supplemental bill would have denied the $100 million earmark to next year's political party conventions.
As Coburn said previously, "Members will have to make a difficult choice between booze and balloons or body armor and bullets."
It appears that 52 members had no difficulty short-changing taxpayers...again.
I'll have the official tally posted once it's available.
UPDATE: Here's the tally. Here's how the presidential candidates voted:
Brownback - YES
Obama - YES
Clinton - NO
Biden - NO
Dodd - NO
