Biden is presiding over the Senate. . .
. . .it looks like they took a voice vote on the 9/11 bill so there is no roll call. Am I right?

2. Yup
But I don't think it is because of the 9-11 bill, I think it is because of the START treaty.

5. Please let him cast his vote and leave through the back door.
God help us if they put a microphone in front of him and Gibbs has to "clarify" his statements again.

26. I apologize for suggesting Biden might say something
unwise, inaccurate, or contrary to official policy, which would be used by the media to divert attention from what was a clear victory for the Democrats. After all, he has no track record of doing such things.

19. I haven't been counting, but it sounds like there are more "ayes" than "nays". McConnell,
McCain and Graham (the REAL Rat Pack) all voted 'nay'.
