[Kittycat]

CSPAN2 crapped out on my computer a few minutes ago, when the bill was at 57 Aye votes. Is anyone watching live?

[pinto]

2. watching c-span. Waiting for Brown, Gillibrand, Martinez and Bayh

apparently they're not present...?

[MrPerson]

3. Mr Akaka?

Bueller?? Bueller??

[NMDemDist2]

4. only four votes still outstanding

3 Dems, 1 Repuke

they need all 3 dem votes I guess, but I don't see why they need more than a simple majority to approve the conference cmte

:shrug:

5. rules say need 60 when adding to the deficit

[NMDemDist2]

10. OK that makes sense, thanks!

:yourock:

[Avalux]

6. I thought they'd only need 51 votes too.

However because of budget rules, this votes requires 60 votes for passage. Sucks.

[Ioo]

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. Martinez just voted no

[BootinUp]

17. not a surprise really. nt

[csziggy]

24. Mel Martinez? I'll have to call his office Monday.

I want to thank him for being a do nothing, anti-American Republican and making it easier for a Democrat to win his Senate seat in 2010. Since he announced that he is not running, the Republicans have not come up with any good candidates and I want any moderate Republicans afraid to follow in Martinez's footsteps.

[BootinUp]

13. Guess we have to sweat this one out? nt

[Seen the light]

19. It's going to end up passing by 1 vote

One single vote is either going to save our economy or permanently cripple it.

[MrPerson]

20. WOULD THEY PLEASE FUCKING VOTE ALREADY???????

[Kittycat]

21. No kidding. What is the point of waiting?

Their name gets recorded regardless.

[pinto]

22. Bayh got in for an Aye. 59. Brown will put it over.

[MrPerson]

25. Who was supposed to be the other yes vote besides Brown?

[MrPerson]

26. Brown wont be in until 10:30. Mother's wake.
