Breaking: McCain Skips Vote On 21st Century G.I. Bill
The Senate just voted to pass Jim Webb's 21st Century version of the G.I. bill, which would greatly expand educational benefits to veterans.
Guess who skipped it?
McCain, who touts his support for veterans, had previously declined to support the bill. He offered another version of it so he'd be seen as having tried to offer an alternate solution.
McCain came under pressure from real live veterans and others to back the Webb bill. And rather than vote against it, he skipped the vote instead.
Both Hillary and Obama voted for it, and it passed 75-22.
