Only Dem to not sign letter to Prez to keep hands off SSI - Ben Nelson.
All other Senate Democrats signed it plus Jeffords.

Nelson will also be at one of Bush's pep rallies tomorrow in Nebraska.

This was reported on CNN's Inside Politics.

4. He might have just lost his 2006 reelection.
It's so disenhartening to watch these Democratic politicians get suckered by the DLC strategists into making major mistakes like this.
