Sen. Reid eats crow and Border Fence-sitters . . .

Here's an interesting post Michelle Malkin » ("Harry Reid eats crow on border security funding: 'I was wrong and Senator Cornyn was right'”) about the recent border security amendment vote in the U.S. Senate.

Harry Reid offers a half-hearted admission that he was wrong and a number of Presidential hopefuls failed to vote on this important legislation. I'm wondering if they were available to vote. In light of recent stories about NY State Senator Bruno using state vehicles for political purposes (and Democrats trying to framing him for it), I'm wondering how legit it is for elected officials to run for President while ostensibly serving (full-time) in the U.S. Senate.
