    I couldn't listen to the whole segment (had to go to work) but didn't hear that Clinton's vote on this bill mentioned. A look at the Senate roll call link indicates that she was the ONLY Senator who did not vote on the bill. More strategic fence-sitting? All of the other Senators from NY, NJ and CT (even Lieberman) voted Nay.

    A link that might provide a bit more background (as well as the vote count) is on:
