You're imagining that, were the vote later, the Dems would've been screaming for the chance

Remember, bilmore, the Fall of 2002 was the Fall of Smoking Guns as Mushroom Clouds. Dems were scrambling to avoid being Chamblissed.
If you think that the timing of the vote was purely coincidental, or that the politics would've played out similarly had the vote been in, say, December, then Atticus is right -- the switch on your back is set to "Suspend Disbelief."
