Looks like cloture on Bolton is going to fail.

[longship]

Senate voting now. I haven't heard any Dems crossing over.

On edit:Correction Landrieu (LA), Dayton (OH), and Nelson (NE) crossed to the dark side.

Voinovich (OH) crossed over to the good side.

Not enough for the Repugs.
:bounce: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause:

Cloture fails 54-38

[still_one]

1. They better not cross

[Renew Deal]

4. And Nelson of Nebraska I think

[Renew Deal]

7. And Dayton

[flpoljunkie]

14. No. But Pryor did, as he voted Aye last time.

[Renew Deal]

19. Oops

That's what I meant. :dunce:

[wtmusic]

3. oh yeah

[NJ Democrats]

5. So did

Nelson of Nebraska.

6. Voinovich crossed?

To our side?

[LouKYDem]

10. I think so...

but I wouldn't be surprised to see him do a last minute change as he did last time.

[Gloria]

8. Voinovich crossed to us....Biden voted the correct way, as did

Lieberman.

Collins didn't come to our side, don't know about Snowe

[spooky3]

9. thanks--good for Voinovich.

[newscott]

11. Is there a link to follow this somewhere?

Or is the vote over now?

[Chichiri]

12. Watching C-SPAN 2 -- what's the current tally?

[SW FL Dem]

13. CNN reported earlier Dems were going to fall a few votes short.

I hope they are wrong.

[longship]

15. If nobody else crosses over, cloture will fail

So, CNN is wrong.

:woohoo:

[TahitiNut]

17. CNN got stupid and lazy -- counting NO votes

The requirement is 3/5ths of all Senators, not just those present. Thus, it makes no difference if the NO votes are fewer than 40, as long as the YES votes aren't 60 or more.

21. screw CNN, it is not even worthy of having the word "news" in its name

[wtmusic]

16. YESSSSS!!!!!

[NJ Democrats]

18. it failed!!!

[SW FL Dem]

20. GREAT NEWS!

I am really glad CNN was wrong.

[Clark2008]

24. CNN is always wrong.

Nothing new in that! :evilgrin:

[cally]

23. Thanks for watching...I couldn't watch

:bounce:

[Clark2008]

22. Yaaaaaahooooo!!!!!

And I don't mean the Internet company!!

:bounce: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :bounce:

[SeanQuinn]

25. WAY TO GO DEMS AND VOINOVICH!

I don't know what's up with Landrieu, Dayton, and Nelson, but no worries much here. They have to stay somewhat toeing that line if they want to stay in office. I'd still rather a NAY vote on Cloture. But it's alright...
