[Ramulux]

Just watched it on C-Span.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

2. Congrats Harry Reid!

:toast:

[Taverner]

3. good

I was afraid to watch until now...

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. Out of curiosity, who didn't vote?

It's a step forward.

:bounce:

[LSK]

[BadgerKid]

7. Votes along party lines (C-SPAN)

"All Democrats & Independents - Yes; All Republicans - No"

No surprise on the latter.

[LSK]

9. had a faint hope that Snowe or Collins would vote yes

But they probably were told the Dems had 60 and would not need to vote.

[jpak]

16. Snowe is a Repug and will dance always their tune - just like she did on the Bush tax cuts and Iraq

she will face a skeptical Democratic Majority in her district in the next election...if the teagaggers don't primary her first

[bdamomma]

25. the party of no stays true what a bunch of a$$es.

[graywarrior]

8. Did Meathead Lieberman vote?

[femmocrat]

10. Yes. He voted "aye". n/t

[graywarrior]

13. Wow

[cali]

23. no wow. he always said he'd vote yes on this vote.

[graywarrior]

24. I'm bad for not knowing that.

[LSK]

11. Pretty sure

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

12. OMG--I turned on Not News. They're giggling over Lindsay Grahms comments.

Where're Keith and Rachel??!!!!!

Mathews, stay home.

[lyonn]

20. It's unbelievable, only Fox reporting on this

What's with MSNBC and CNN? If it were about Sanford and the Argintine Chilipepper they would have Breaking News?!

[lyonn]

15. Guess you couldn't hear my sigh of relief

Otherwise we would have been completely out in the cold and the R's would be All Over the News gloating.

[Surya Gayatri]

17. What a historic moment....

:toast: :kick: :applause: :woohoo: :bounce:

[Cleita]

18. Well, off the subject of health care right now and onto the subject of votes,

not one Republican voted. I guess all that time they spent courting Olympia Snowe was for nothing. Now this proves to me beyond a doubt that Republicans will do absolutely nothing, nada, to help legislation, no matter how many concessions you make for them. Will our Democrats please keep this in mind in the future? Maybe instead of watered down legislation that doesn't help an iota, dare I hope that they might start moving forward with crucial legislation that we really need to save America and our future?

[Juche]

19. This is great

I'm happy Bayh, Lieberman, Landrieu, Nelson, Baucus, etc. all voted for it.

[kixat2550]

21. Very good

[Gregorian]

22. On with the show! Let the games begin!

I'm not a true junky, as I forgot it was tonight the vote is cast.
