You should mention that he's a Democrat -- that bit of info is not readily obvious (specially to those of us outside of Wisconsin).

Sen. Kennedy was supposed to speak at the University of Louisville (Lou-i-vul) on Monday too but that's already been canceled. Sen. Kohl skipping the cloture vote would certainly be interesting to say the least.
