4. I'm watching the vote now.....

by a landslide! Didn't the R's try and table something or other? I didn't understand that part, but it failed.

I love watching this stuff live, though I don't get half of it :(

5. Has it officially passed yet?

I thought they were still voting on the actual measure. (They voted in favor of PUTTING it to a vote just moments ago.)

20. Yes, no riders, no earmarks, no ammendments, no bridges to nowhere..

It's exactly what the Dems promised they would pass. :)
