DADT repeal achieves cloture!!! 63-33!!!

[racaulk]

IIRC, the vote was along party lines except for the following:

Reps voting Aye:
Brown
Collins
Kirk
Murkowski
Snowe
Voinovich

I'm still looking for a roll call online to confirm this. :hi:

Official roll call here: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00279


Edited for clarity and to include the votes.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

10. Got it on MSNBC

Voting with the majority of Democrats were Republicans Scott Brown (MA), Mark Kirk (IL) George Voinovich (OH), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Susan Collins (ME), and Olympia Snowe (ME).

I do not know why they said seven and list six (so only six Republicans are human)

Manchin voted no, but Brown, Voinovich, Snowe, Collins, Kirk, and Murkowski all voted Aye. The vote was along party lines otherwise.
