1. Hard to hear what they're voting

...

2. Unfortunately, a lot of the votes that I can hear are "no".

4. It won't get 60, as needed. That's pretty much settled.

The question is "how many" and what happens next.

6. Hagel, Smith, Snowe vote for cloture. Lieberman against. So far.

Did i miss any?

5. Did Bush say he was going to veto it anyhow?

(He knows there aren't 67 votes to override him )

7. That's Not The Point....Let Them Obstruct!

Let's convince the American people, Which Side wants our troops home, and Which Side wants to DEBATE, DEBATE, DEBATE.

GET IT INTO THEIR FUCKING MORONIC, IMBECILIC, 5 SECOND ATTENTION SPAN, TINY BRAINS!!!

8. I don't think

that anyone had any expectations that the bill would pass, more importantly it has forced much debate and has opened the door for open discussion on putting this occupation for profit to an end. Its going to be interesting to see where they (Reid) go next. I hope they don't back off, but keep introducing the same kind of legislation until they finally get the votes they need. We know * has threatened to veto but by keeping it debated on the Senate floor they are keeping it in the public eye and it should start pressuring * to do something different than his "stay the course" nonsense.

9. Cloture vote fails. 52 votes for.

[shraby]

10. That means some Dems voted against it.

Wonder which ones.

11. needed 60

we got republican votes. but I'm willing to bet that asshat Lieberman freaking traitor voted against it. I guess he does have the republicans to thank for his getting elected, and fox news
