It appears the Repubs do not have the votes to invoke cloture...

[kentuck]

and hte Democrats have held. It looks like a straight Party vote and that does not give the Repubs enough to stop the debate.....unless they want to resort to the nuclear option....but I think that has already been decided... :)

4. Landrieu and Nelson voted

aye

[Dudley_DUright]

5. Almost party line

Voinovich NO
Landrieu Yes
Nelson(NE) Yes

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. FUCKING LANDRIEU!

Nelson and Pryor are no surprise but Landrieu got a lot of support from progressives on this last run

13. Actually, the Landrieu vote isn't much of a surprise

She'd already sent signals that she was leaning that way. She comes from a conservative district and has to walk a line. One way of looking at her vote is that it was a freebie. If the Dems know they have the votes, and it helps her at home to vote yes, well... That's politics.

We had situations like that with Daschle on occasion, but I'd rather have him than Thune. Glad he's not the Dem leader anymore though.

8. this republican crap of the previous 5yrs...

going on 13, that decrees that because now they are in the majority everyone else in america has to stand there while they shit down our throats has to stop. let this be the beginning of the end of all their nonsense :thumbsup:

[TheFarseer]

9. This is not a filibuster, I don't think

I think we are just trying to buy time to change minds. I think this has a chance of being defeated. I think a couple or more senators want debate to end but for Bolton to be defeated.

11. It didn't pass!

12. On Randi they said Frist voted No
