Here is the roll call vote result http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00363Real bad! On the positive side, repukes did not get clothure on the defense spending bill. This means they didn't shoe-horn in their ANWR drilling. Yay! Roll call results not yet published, as that vote just occurred. But the vote was 56 to 44. Tune in to CSPAN 2 http://www.c-span.org/watch/cspan2_wm.asp?Cat=TV&Code=CS2

2. As far as the ANWR vote |
|
Mary Landreau voted along with the Republicans and it looked like she was really being taken to task by a whole lot of our guys. A lot of dems, especially Harry Reid seemed to be in a heated argument with her when the vote count was taking place. At least they didn't sneak in ANWR on the Defense bill. Shame on Mary.
