Reid just announced there will be no vote tonight.

[marketcrazy1]

They just don't have the votes, and will try again tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

1. What happened to "We'll stay up late" and "We have the votes"

Reid is a POS "leader"

[spanone]

2. i thought so since he announced they'd be there all night till they voted.

9. Lmao. Me too.

The last 3 decisions he's made I knew exactly what was going to happen - the exact opposite of whatever he says.
It's becoming pretty pathetic.

3. Seat Senator Franken tomorrow.

No debate.

[ColbertWatcher]

5. I know. WTF!? n/t

[bdamomma]

4. too many amendments and tomorrow the unemployment new

number is coming in, and we have more time to call our Senators, and lay into them if we have to.

7.2 unemployment now what will it be tomorrow.

another day coming up and more bitching and moaning from the Repigs.

[ColbertWatcher]

6. And we have unemployment numbers to throw in their faces. n/t

[bdamomma]

10. exactly, the repigs want to go home and hopefully they will not be

prolonging or roadblocking this bill. I think I will place a call to Harry Reid's office tomorrow, and to stop farting around with the repigs and this bill. It is too important.

7. How can we find out who votes against it?

The people of the United States need to know. Will this information be made available? Maybe someone famous could read the list on a video.

[redstate_democrat]

8. You lie.

Reid would never say such a thing. He's a known closer.

11. There are 56 Democratic Senators--what is the holdup???

And two independents who caucus with the Democrats. Even with Kennedy out sick there should be no reason why this thing can't pass NOW.

[Connie_Corleone]

12. Some of the conservative Democrats are wavering over the size of the bill.

[ColbertWatcher]

13. Millions of Americans are waivering over the size of their unemployment.

Do you know who? If so, please post the names on this http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4991250&mesg_id=4991250 thread.

14. How many?

With 58 on our side, eight could vote against it and it would still pass--whether Kennedy is there or not. With him it's 50 to 49 (minus Franken's seat) and without him it's 49 to 49 and Biden breaks the tie.
