1. Leiberman knows he has to side with Obama on every major issue or else he is done politically. nm

2. So, that means MY senator, Mel Martinez voted against it?

grrrrr... he needs to be DUMPED!

[spartan61]

5. Martinez is a creep.

I have written and called him so many times to no avail. He sides with the repukes every time. Glad he won't be running again.

10. Don't waste your time dumping him - he's retiring

Just find yourself a great candidate to run in 2010 so you don't have another idiot taking over Pelosi's office

3. Good enough.

[crikkett]

4. know Lieberman, Snowe, Collins, and Arlen

what does that mean? sorry to bother you.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. sorry. I know that they voted aye. But someone else must

have, right? I'm confused with our dem #s. MN doesn't have a vote yet. how many dems do we have, including LIEberman?

[Alexander]

8. Including Lieberman, we have 58.

Looks like all of our 58 voted for cloture, along with Collins, Snowe and Specter.

[Doremus]

7. Voinovich - no. That do-nothing repuke is retiring and it's a fvcking good thing.

[Laura PourMeADrink]
