But before the test vote, Blagojevich made a surprise request of lawmakers: Vote no.

He said House members should reject the resolution as a signal that they think it's too soon to take a firm position on the tax.
There were 0 yes votes for the governor's gross reciepts tax. Sensing this was coming, the governor went into positive spin/damage control before the vote.

My rule is, in a spin, both feet in.
