voting now on Owen

[annabanana]

CSpan 2

[BurtWorm]

1. She'll win.

[annabanana]

3. but by how much?

[BurtWorm]

7. Dunno.

The 7 "centrists" Dems will probably vote for her as a sign of "good faith." I'm just guessing.

[annabanana]

11. for comity's sake... yup, hence Byrd

[Met Knup]

64. Pryor voted NO, and he is one of the 7

They seem free to vote as they choose.

[BurtWorm]

141. But they may have done a headcount before they signed the agreement

[TahitiNut]

98. She'll win 58-41 if Inouye is still out, 58-42 if he's there.

I revised it to shift one more vote to the Dems.

[liberal N proud]

2. Rubber Stamp time

[tridim]

4. Byrd voted aye?

What the fuck?

[Roland99]

9. What the....?!?!?

[annabanana]

5. Why did Byrd vote aye?

for comity's sake?

[TahitiNut]

I repeat: Byrd is a CONSERVATIVE Democrat!

While I can respect many of his principles, and his integrity, I CANNOT agree with him on matters of individual liberties vs. establishment and property.

[TahitiNut]

39. Lieberman: "No"

[BurtWorm]

46. That is a surprise.

She might not make it.

[TahitiNut]

63. I predict a vote of about 59-41.

[TahitiNut]

70. Bayh, Obama - "No" ... Snowe - "Aye"

[The Witch]

6. Byrd - Aye

:wtf:

[BurtWorm]

10. I bet it was an unspoken part of the deal.

We'll vote for Owen, but we reserve the right to vote down the other two. (Or one of the other two.)

[Mass]

20. Not surprising that Byrd voted for her

but more surprising is that Chafee voted No. I guess it is because the vote was safe anyway.

[Freddie Stubbs]

129. Yet Pryor voted no

Appernetly it was not part of the deal.

[Roland99]

8. Looks a little empty there

http://play.rbn.com/play.asx?url=cspan/cspan/wmlive/cspan2v.asf&proto=mms?mswmext=.asx

[keithjx]

12. Just got back.

any no's aside from pryor?
KJ

[The Witch]

13. I have a sinking feeling

Obama will vote aye
Nelson will vote aye
who else...

oh well. they get to make up their own mind, right?

[LifeDuringWartime]

74. obama just voted no

:silly:

[Roland99]

14. Chafee - NO

[The Witch]

18. You want to do the official announcing of the nos?

[Roland99]

23. I was going to but it just got a bit noisy here

People leaving for lunch...can't hear too well now.


:(

[The Witch]

15. Chafee NO (0.o)

it might be....

[TahitiNut]

16. Lincoln Chaffee: "No"

[BurtWorm]

19. That throws a monkey wrench in my speculation...

[Roland99]

17. Feingold - No

[rodeodance]

34. thats my grand Senator!!

[Roland99]

Mine are McConnell and Bunning...Give you one guess as to how they vote.

[katmondoo]

42. Lieberman voted NO What was that

[Roland99]

21. Durbin - No

Plenty of Ayes, though.

[TahitiNut]

22. Cornyn: "Aye"

[GOPisEvil]

24. There's a shock.

:sarcasm:

[The Witch]

25. "...am a little teapot"

The guy's insane.

[rodeodance]

27. Repug DeMint--AYE

[oasis]

26. Did I hear wrong or did Mary Landrieu vote for that POS Owen?

[QC]

28. She did indeed. n/t

[oasis]

69. Alas, I twice donated to her hotly contested campaign 2 years ago.

It seems she's got a bit of the Zell in her.

[rodeodance]

29. Dayton-NO

[annabanana]

30. she sure did

[annabanana]

35. Lieberman - no

[oasis]

49. And the "deals" just keep on coming.

[TahitiNut]

31. She did,

DINO :puke:

[Mass]

32. Landrieu is pro life

The only thing that most Democrats had to reproach to Owen was that she is for parental notification. So I am not surprised that Landrieu voted yes, neither Byrd, for the matter.

[Mass]

40. Seems to be a pure prochoice/prolife vote at this point

Did Snowe vote?

[gumby]

65. What? The other Dems are Pro-Death?

Owens is a radical activist judge. There is a laundry list of "things" against her. :puke:

[Mass]

103. I am sure they are a lot of other reasons.

but Democrats have spent much more time talking about Brown than Owen, so it would be difficult to know what else they reproach her.

So of course, Byrd and Landrieu are voting what they think their constituants would like (as did Chafee, of course).

Sad, but "c'est la vie".

And no, the other ones are not pro-death.

[gumby]

145. It's not difficult at all.

You're on Al Gore's Internet.

[Mass]

149. Because of course all of the people who care about that

have nothing else to do than to google it.

I did it, but a lot of people do not have the time.

[Roland99]

33. Well, with Byrd and Landrieu voting Aye...she's a lock

[rodeodance]

38. Leiberman NO and Warner AYE

[Protagoras]

36. What's the history of the 5th Circuit?

Is it already so lost that Owen doesn't change it? I have to believe that Byrd and Landrieu's crossover is part of a bigger deal/strategy.

Lieberman voted no?

There is some strange positioning going on here.

[BurtWorm]

It's one of the circuits Republicans blocked Clinton nominees from being

seated on, I think. I thought I heard Feingold say this morning not one Clinton nominee for that circuit made it out of committee.

[tridim]

37. Joementum: No

I'm freaked out

[rodeodance]

41. Kohl--WI NO, yup

[rodeodance]

44. Ms Collins AYE

[rodeodance]

45. Kennedy NO

[rodeodance]

47. Harkin NO

[rodeodance]

48. Kerry NO Brownback aye

[annabanana]

43. Collins- aye, sigh

[rodeodance]

50. Hatch aye Hutchenson aye

[rodeodance]

52. McCAIN say AYE

[Ivote]

54. So All The Pubs That Brokered The Deal Voted AYE

except Chaffee.
I think the Dems got snookered again.

[The Witch]

61. lieb voted no

unusual for him :P

[tyedyeto]

51. Anyone keeping a running tally? n/t

[KyndCulture]

55. nearabouts 35-23 right now.

[tyedyeto]

60. thanks!

[KyndCulture]

138. I count 51 Ayes right now... nt.

[BurtWorm]

56. It seems like they need three more Dems to vote aye.

[rodeodance]

57. Mulculsky, no, sarbains, no and Jeffers NO

[rodeodance]

59. Nelson fl NO Lugar aye sunnue aye,

[The Witch]

53. mccain aye

am i the third or fourth to post it :D

[tyedyeto]

58. That's 'my' senator for ya...

:sarcasm:

[rodeodance]

62. Craig ? sp aye

[rodeodance]

66. Feinstein CA says NO

[rodeodance]

68. Santoruim AYE Grassley AYE

[rodeodance]

71. ? thurm? any way aye, ms snow AYE, Lincoln says NO

[BurtWorm]

80. There's no excuse for Collins and Snow to vote "aye"

They're both pro-choice--or pro-individual freedom, as Dean would say. I don't get those votes.

[Al-CIAda]

67. The woman is a sharcropper's nightmare, and corporatists wet dream

Gonzales speaks out against her, yet there are Dems who vote for this POS?

This Party is retarded.

[rodeodance]

75. ILL omaba says no (I can not spell, sorry)

[derby378]

72. Obama - NO, Snowe - AYE, Lincoln - NO

What's the current count? I'm at work - hard to keep up.

[tridim]

I'm just card-counting at this point.

[Avalux]

Good for her.

[rodeodance]

76. boxter NO stavenow NO

[BurtWorm]

107. Which Nelson? Nebraska?!

She may really go down!

[annabanana]

118. Yousa!

[janx]

120. Yep!

But I don't think Owen is going down.

[The Witch]

125. BOTH nelsons said no

[kcass1954]

147. Bill Nelson (FL) at least voted NO on this one.

I have my doubts about him sometimes, and he drives me batty. But this restores some of my faith in him.

I really don't need to ask how Sideshow Mel voted, though.

[derby378]

78. Boxer - NO

Is anyone surprised by that one? :silly:

[The Witch]

79. tally update plz?

[annabanana]

83. Salazar - no, good

[The Witch]

[GOPisEvil]

88. D- Colorado.

[tridim]

92. Moderate Dem from Colorado

[BurtWorm]

89. So how many Dem moderates have voted aye so far. Just 3 I count.

And one Rep mod voted nay. She may go down!

[Beetwasher]

102. Is It A Full Chamber Today?

Are all Senators there? If not, do they still need 51 to confirm???

[Mass]

109. It is a good surprise.

[The Witch]

119. use your thousandth post wisely, mass!

[annabanana]

87. Nebraska's Nelson no (really)

[Roland99]

[rodeodance]

99. libbin NO boynivich AYE

[annabanana]

97. yup

[BurtWorm]

101. No, they need a supermajority.

I think it's 60.

[keithjx]

104. Nope - Here they just need 51

That was the whole point of the agreement.

[Roland99]

106. Is this cloture? I thought Cloture required 3/5 (60)?

[GOPisEvil]

111. Cloture vote was earlier. 81-19.

[Roland99]

115. Gotcha...so all they need is 51 now.

She'll be in.

:(

[TahitiNut]

117. 18 ... Inouye was "Not Voting"

[GOPisEvil]

123. Oh yeah. I forgot. I knew the 81 though. Do I get half-credit?

:D

[TahitiNut]

131. (grin) I've been a bit anal on this nomination, I guess.

[TahitiNut]

112. Cloture was yesterday ... 81-18

[tridim]

113. Cloture vote was yesterday

Passed 81-18

[Beetwasher]

105. Huh? I Thought This Was Her Up/Down Vote, Simple Majority Needed?

110. See how cornfused they got us!

:silly: :crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

108. Only to break a filibuster.

Cloture passed 81-19 eariler.

Confirmation is simple majority.

We've got to vote out Grassley. I don't care how much he bills himself as a "home boy," he no longer represents the best interests of Iowa.
