26. It's not that some democrats broke ranks
as many democrats never supported the better mileage rates. Even Feingold and Kolh in Wisconsin have voted against it in the past. The money and union influence was too much for them. Their lobbyist's profits were more important than national security and consumer interests. I say that as someone that spent many hours and weeks on the streets in their campaigns. Their overall positions on a varietyh of issues were still far better then their opponents.
