Too close for comfort...

This is really too close for comfort. 4 votes away from privatizing Social Security. And the thing that amazes me most is that every Democrat voted against it. Even Lieberman, Bush's man in the Senate, voted against it. Even the other DLC DINOs voted against it. Thankfully there are still 7 Republicans who care about seniors (or see the disadvantage this would put them at come election time). Evidently Santorum didn't get the memo though since he faces a tough race against a very conservative Democrat (too conservative, he's the Casey in Planned Parenthood v. Casey) this year.
