61 yea 37 nays....just looking at those numbers, you'd think it passed by a landslide |
|
and in reality it did....we MUST do away with the 60 vote bullshit.

1. If we had needed 70 or 80 votes enough Rethugs would have voted for it |
|
The Rethugs weren't about to block this bill and have everyone out of a job blaming them.
This is all illusion.

5. If it was a simple majority no Rethugs would have voted for it |
|
This way it keeps them "involved" somewhat.

7. Virtually the same people that voted 61-36 yesterday, voted 61-37 today. |
|
That means, all the Democrats + 3 Repub (Snowe, Collins, Specter) + Lieberman + Sanders
