== 1993 budget vote == 

 Kerrey became the focus of attention in 1993 when he became the key vote that would decide whether Clinton's first budget would pass or not. I can't remember what it was exactly, but it was reported that on the last day or the next-to-last day before the vote, Kerrey was still undecided, and spent the day making up his mind. It was reported that he went to the movies (what movie did he watch? This is the sort of thing people look to Wikipedia for). And liberals became very annoyed at him for a period. It was a significant moment in his career.
