DescriptionThe only Democrat who opposes repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell is Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). All others support it. So why did only 56 out of 58 Democrats vote for it today?

"Senator [Blanche] Lincoln didn't make it back to this vote because she was in a dentist chair, and ran back and missed it by three minutes," Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) told reporters tonight. "She was very frustrated and apologized to both of us."
