The Republicans sure do like talking about the 11 Democrats out of approximately 250 who voted against the stimulus in the House... but how DARE anyone say that only two Republican senators out of the 40 is bipartisan.
11/250 = 4.4% 2/40 = 5%
A greater percentage of Republicans in the Senate are supporting the stimulus now than Democrats in the House who opposed it.

2. And then there is Harry Reid math |

"I can't pass a bill because there are 40 Republicans!" I ain't too sure Harry could pass a bill if we had an 80/20 advantage
