Harry Reid Again Casts Wrong Vote on Health Bill
For the second time, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cast the wrong vote on a piece of health care legislation.
Reid was voting this afternoon on the House reconciliation bill making tweaks to the health care legislation already signed into law.
Reid voted no on the bill before realizing his mistake and switching his vote to yes with a smile. The chamber broke into laughter when Reid cast the vote, CBS News Capitol Hill producer John Nolen reports, perhaps because the majority leader made the same mistake during passage of the Senate health care bill on Christmas Eve.
After the Christmas Eve vote, Reid quipped, "I spent a very restless night last night trying to figure out how I could show some bipartisanship. And I think I was able to accomplish that for a few minutes today."
Reid's office said his "no" vote this afternoon was a mistake, not a joke.
