The debate ended, the votes were cast, and all eyes turned toward the board in the Senate chamber that shows the tally by flashing a green or red light next to each name.
It was not close. With Democrats in firm control of every lever of power in Trenton, they could not deliver, not by a long shot.
At the end, Democrats stumbled away like a defeated army. The board showing the vote tally, which sometimes stays on for hours, was snapped off quickly, as if they were ashamed of it.
