Before We Start Counting Our Future Hispanic Votes...

…The final vote was 55-41, as Kay Hagan voted No at the end as well. When a full roll call is up, I’ll link. Four no-shows is interesting… Apparently Manchin voted No as well (actually he may just have not voted), along with Hagan, Pryor, Tester, Baucus, and Ben Nelson. The four no-shows were Republicans.

If this count is acurate... It wasn't the Republicans that stopped the DREAM Act.

Wonderful...

2. Um, the majority of GOP voted against

Only a couple of Dems. How do you hold Dems responsible?

4. Because 5 Of The 41 Votes AGAINST, Were Democrats

IOW - The Democrats could have defeated this filibuster, but did not.

And if the Democratic Party wanted to lock in the Hispanic Vote for the next generation, they failed miserably.

Once again... snatching defeat from the was of victory.

6. The 4 No-Shows Were Republicans...

according to the OP.

Move the 5 Dems to the Aye side, you get 60 - 36.

Filibuster over.
