4. Will Snowe, Collins, Brown or McCain counter his "No" vote?

[gateley]

8. Wow - McCain. After his Hobbit speech, you never know. nt

10. Manchin (D) W.VA. senator. (I know the term is usually attributed to Dem house members).

[gateley]

11. My eyes were crossing - I thought you meant Reid which is

why I asked for clarification.

I attribute it to every Dem who is a DINO, and apparently Manchin qualifies.

:hi:

[gateley]

7. Did he say why? Thanks. nt

[Parker CA]

13. I caught it mid-way, but he said he couldn't vote for Boehner or Reid proposal. nt

[LoZoccolo]

12. You and I know they've done that, but this is one of the only votes most people pay attention to.
