I EDIT THE NY TIMES

In an article about the water projects bill, the Times has this paragraph:

Mr. Bush and Republican leaders are taking a harder line on spending out of a belief that voters in 2006 punished them for allowing federal spending to creep upward over the last six years and creating a costly new Medicare drug benefit. But not all Republicans are toeing that line. On the veto override this evening, 138 Republicans joined 223 Democrats in easily overcoming the president’s objections, and all of the annual spending bills have had solid bipartisan support.

There are 200 Republicans in the House. 138 of 200 is 69%. Couldn't the Times have written instead "Most Republicans aren't toeing that line"?
