Has anyone compiled a list of actual "votes" Abramoff bought?
Have any DUers tracked down suspicious votes that clearly seem to have been bought and paid for?
Seems like that would be a handy list to compile.

1. I saw a thread about anti-sweatshop legislation that was defeated
with Abramoff money.

3. try Think Progress--
At http://www.thinkprogress.org/abramoff Title is "Abramoff: The House That Jack Built". It lays out the names, with a note about methodology:

"Members of Congress were included if they received over $10,000 from Abramoff, his clients or his partners and have allegedly done favors for Abramoff, his clients or his partners. Members who were acting on behalf of a constituent in their state were excluded, even if those constituents were Abramoff clients. Certain members who received less than $10,000 in Abramoff were included because of extensive allegations of favors done for Abramoff."

I haven't gone through it all myself yet, but Jane Hamsher at firedoglake http://firedoglake.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_firedoglake_archive.html#113640391352321601 calls it a great compendium of the players.
