| You can call the offices and demand they go on the record one way or another as the person who did or didn't do it If they get enough pressure, with elections coming up, they might be willing to say one way or another, especially if there are other seats in their state in danger and this has the potential to damage them. | ||||

| Masked Senator Reveals Himself TPMmuckraker August 30, 2006 01:59 PM A spokesman for Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) just confirmed his boss was the man behind the secret hold on the Coburn/Obama spending database bill, which has captivated a segment of the political blogging community in recent days. "Sen. Stevens does have a hold on the bill," said the spokesman, who would only speak on the condition he not be named. He added that Sen. Tom Coburn's (R-OK) office was notified of the hold after it was placed. So Coburn's comments two weeks ago may have been duly informed. So why does Stevens say he placed the hold? Why did it take this long for him to say so? And will he lift it? We'll have more soon... | ||||
