The Nays are 50

50 to 48 WOW! That was close. Cochran ammendment - removing timetable for Iraq withdrawal.

1. Is this to the overall bill or just an amendment?

[Hepburn]

3. Just an amendment. n/t

[Ilsa]

2. Yeah! Now Cmdr Codpiece has to veto the bill for

funding the troops if he doesn't want the timeline in it.

[Iwasthere]

4. Perfect!

[Iwasthere]

6. Just waitin for someone on the floor to make some kind of change

remember all the tactics they used on votes before last Nov?

8. I don't think the actual bill has been voted on yet.

Reid just said they were going to have cloture in the morning. I think the only accomplishment so far is that the Nays shot down the ammendment to remove the timeline.

11. Oh, okay. My bad. I thought that without this amendment,

it was moving forward right away and presumed to put Cmdr C. on the hotseat.

5. Hagel and Gordon Smith Jumped The Aisle

As, of course (and as you can guess) did War Loverman.

[Iwasthere]

7. Reid just said there are 100 ammendments to this bill!

JESUS!

[Iwasthere]

9. So what happens now?

[DemKR]

10. So who voted with us?

Nelson (NE) or Pryor?
