Wow. He must be really desperate for drug-company cash, given that lifting the reimportation ban on drugs from Canada is wildly popular with the people he's supposed to represent. (Polls in the 60s, 70s, or higher, I believe. Republican free trade? Not for us "little people.")

The Senate voted 68-32 today to lift the ban. (Specter voted Yes.) The AP says it will probably come out of the bill in conference with the House, but without this step, the end-the-ban provision wouldn't even have a chance. The full roll call is here.
