What is the Stimulus Vote at? Last look 57 Aye's |
|
CSPAN2 crapped out on my computer a few minutes ago, when the bill was at 57 Aye votes. Is anyone watching live?

6. I thought they'd only need 51 votes too. |
|
However because of budget rules, this votes requires 60 votes for passage. Sucks.

24. Mel Martinez? I'll have to call his office Monday. |
|
I want to thank him for being a do nothing, anti-American Republican and making it easier for a Democrat to win his Senate seat in 2010. Since he announced that he is not running, the Republicans have not come up with any good candidates and I want any moderate Republicans afraid to follow in Martinez's footsteps.

19. It's going to end up passing by 1 vote |
|
One single vote is either going to save our economy or permanently cripple it.
