Does anyone know how specific Senators voted on waterboarding? Specifically Clinton and Obama? nt

1. I think they both didn't vote on it.

Way to stand up for what's right, huh?

2. Here is what I could find.

The House approved the bill in December by a vote of 222 to 199, mostly along party lines. Wednesday’s vote in the Senate was also along party lines. All the “no” votes were cast by Republicans, except for those of Senators Joseph I. Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, and Ben Nelson, Democrat of Nebraska. Five Republicans and Senator Bernard Sanders, independent of Vermont, voted “yes.”

3. Media plalying games again? I could only find discussion of McCain's

vote against the ban. Nothing on Hillary or Obama. Maybe they weren't there. Bush has promised to veto the ban so I guess McCain felt safe in voting "no" for political reasons. Evidently they didn't need Clinton or Obama votes to pass the bill and they knew that.

4. They weren't there. And it was close--if we didn't get the five Repubs to vote

with us, it would have failed. It'll still get vetoed, of course...

5. I found the results of the roll call vote. You'll have to hold your nose and click:
