It’s hard to be certain. If they pay any attention whatsoever to polling, they might use this failure as an excuse not to bring it up again.
I mean, I doubt that very many of the GOP senators actually think this is good policy. It’s a fig-leaf effort to the crazy socons.
It’s hard to say, especially when have dipshits like Limbaugh out there, driving the base into a lather over the “culture war” and how it can win the election for them. You can be sure that, right about now, there’s a great deal of anger and disgust, not to mention death threats, being send to Snowe’s email, phone, and mail box.
