Here’s his statement :
I return to the Senate today to keep a promise to our senior citizens and that’s to protect Medicare.
Win, lose or draw, I wanted to be here. I wasn’t going to take the chance that my vote could make the difference.
This is a critical bill that among other things, blocked a 10.6 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors. Those cuts would very likely have driven more doctors and hospitals to refuse Medicare patients. The Senate attempted to vote prior to the July 4 recess, and came within one vote of cloture.
The administration has been lobbying the Republican caucus hard on this bill, including, rumor has it, sending Cheney up to the Hill toda...

Ohio (141), 7:30 p.m. ET
Rhode Island (21) 9 p.m. ET
Texas (193) 9 p.m. ET, but El Paso is in a different time zone, so closes an hour later. And, to make things extra complicated, the caucuses begin after the polls close.
Vermont will get called quickly for Obama. The rest should take a while to report winners. And Texas, sheesh, that one will be conf... more
The Obama campaign may be planning ahead (something the Clinton campaign never thought of, apparently), but it’s clear that they’re also paving the way for a serious push to knock Clinton out of the race this week.
First off is the developing CW , from the very astute Charlie Cook:
NBC political analyst Charlie Cook writes in his CongressDaily column, “[W]inning by slight percentages in Texas and Ohio aren’t real wins for Clinton. A ‘win’ would... more
