Totally agree that Murkowski, then Collins and then McCain deserve credit and in that order.
Murkowski and Collins stood their ground throughout, even under
withering pressure from their fellow GOP senators...
McCain's vote was important and made for great headlines (ie "The Maverick gets off his deadbed to save Healthcare.") for the media, but Murkowski and Collins stuck to their guns right from the start.
