We have been following the Senate debate on the New START Treaty between the U.S. and Russia, and how Arizona Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl have been part of a shrinking group of Republicans opposing ratification.
The final vote took place an hour ago (12:30, Arizona Time), and our Senators found themselves on the short end of the 71-26 vote to approve the treaty.
Worth noting, 13 Republicans in the Senate DID vote to approve it, and three others (Brownback, Bond, Bunning) did not vote.
