for not wanting to count illegal immigrants in the Census.

But when David Vitter sponsored an amendent that would keep illegal immigrants from being counted, Governor Crist’s appointed senator voted for it.

Absurd!

Presumably Crist would have joined the two Republicans — Olympia Snowe and Lisa Murkowski — who voted with Democrats to table the amendment.

Perhaps Rubio could adopt this to help his stimulus-bomb effort: If you want Snowe, vote for Crist.

UPDATE: I actually linked to a sanctuary-city amendment there. The counting amendment never actually got a roll-call vote. Only cloture got voted on.
