ENDA was reintroduced in the 112th Congress today as HR 1397, with 92 fewer co-sponsors than when the 111th Congress closed, according to the Washington Blade.

Why are there 92 fewer co-sponsors, and what does this mean?

There are many factors at play here, as usual in human affairs.

According to Harry Gural, Barney Frank's spokesperson, 111 is a great result, given the Democrats' losses in the last election.
