4. Dare we hope? The 'No' votes seem to be prevailing.

Edited on Wed Dec-21-05 10:27 AM by TahitiNut

This Conference Report is an abomination of greed ... enriching the wealthy and jettisoning the middle class and working poor and students.

Even Nelson (DINO-Neb) voted 'No.' as did Susan Collins.

5. It's interesting how the female Senators want to be addressed.

It's Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Collins, but Ms. Landrieu and Ms. Snowe.

6. It's been very strange so far this morning

Vote to waive the first point of order did not pass, but the chair ruled against the point of order anyway. So, now they are voting on the bill ... and it looks promising.

When did C-SPAN stop showing the yea and nay votes!

Cheney votes! ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

10. I don't think they ever have in the Senate

The House votes are electronic; the Senate's are not.

17. It was 50-50

Edited on Wed Dec-21-05 10:52 AM by Sydnie

We picked up 5 repug votes. Cheney makes the 101st vote.

edited to add - I haven't been able to type without a typo for two days. Haste makes waste I guess.

Chaffee, Collins, DeWine, Smith and Snowe

13. Notice that Stevens is the chair right now ... in his HULK tie!

They are only giving him 5 minutes to talk today and 5 minutes that he will control. Keep the ambulance handy!
