Do we have a list of the votes on DADT repeal yet?
I'm reading that the vote was the same as the one for cloture, with some Republican cross-overs. Is that the case?

2. 63-33 for cloture. Snowe, Collins, Murkowsi, Brown were notables that crossed over
to vote for cloture. Manchin did not vote.

5. Ah, thanks!
Manchin was one of the ones I was wondering about, since he's my senator. I understood that Rockefeller voted Yes.

12. But he may have picked up independent votes.
If Brown moves closer to the middle and stays there, he is going to be a tough out, even in Massachusetts. As far as him being teabagged in republican primaries, all he has to do is file initial papers for an independent run, that will weaken the knees of his primary adversaries. If Murkowski pulled off victory in wingnut heaven Alaska as a write-in, Brown can certainly win in Massachusetts by holding to a moderate track.
