[Dan from Michigan]

Michigan: Levin (D-MI), Nay Stabenow (D-MI), Nay

As to the former - Don't blame me, I voted for Rocky. As to the latter - she'll be going back to Lansing in 2006 if I have any say in the matter.

[jtminton]

Byrd voted yes, shows he's worried about re-election.

I thought he was retiring?

[newgeezer]

Iowa: Grassley (R-IA), Yea Harkin (D-IA), Nay

As usual, Iowans have no vote in the U.S. Senate.

[wildandcrazyrussian]

I noticed that about Byrd (D-WV) too. He's 87 and trying to decide about running again next year. If what you say is true, that is great news!~

Who voted for Priscilla Owens

No one, I hope, voted for someone who's not nominated.

(The judge's surname is Owen, not Owens.)

[crazyhorse691]

Yea Oregon: Smith (R-OR), Yea Wyden (D-OR), Nay Pennsylvania: Santorum (R-PA), Yea Specter (R-PA),

---

Talk about a world upside down. One RHINO votes yea, the other nay, while a lib Rat votes yea. Those Rhino's are just unpredictable and untrustworthy. Haven't a clue what got into Wyden(maybe some backbone?).

[kabar]

The Dems are keeping the approval numbers under 60 for obvious reasons.

[SkyPilot]

Nay Lieberman (D-CT),

I find this most distressing. I have defended Joe Lieberman on this forum. I flew him in a Learjet and I found him to be a decent man.

He was part of "The Deal"--why would he vote "Nay?"

I guess we finally see what that really means.

[mountaineer]

Byrd voted yes, shows he's worried about re-election.

He probably just woke up from his nap and didn't know what the vote was all about.

[wildbill]

Lugar of Ind. voted Nay? That doesn't sound right.

[mowkeka]

So I heard that we only got 57 votes or whatever.
Can someone please explain to me, who is not that familiar with Senate rules.
It's okay that we didn't get 60 because the Democrats didn't "officially" filibuster?

[upchuck]

You fine folks in RI should really do something about Chafee (RINO-RI)

[PAR35]

So Chafee and Stevens are now officially the top RINOs, while Byrd and Landrieu should get a temporary pass.

[Bar-Face]

" Byrd voted yes, shows he's worried about re-election"

I don't think so. Contrary to what we thought we saw, he was not asleep at his desk when Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Harry Read (Senate Leader-NV) were telling the world that Owens and Brown wanted to take us back to the days of Jim Crow. Old Sheets, Robt. Byrd (KKK-WV) with memories of night rides in his sheet-n-hood and cross burnings believed them and voted accordingly.

[Steve_Seattle]

Is there anyone in the Senate more vain and more stupid than Jeffords?

[paulat]

If you go to the site, it says

Stevens (R-AK), Present, Giving Live Pair

Does anyone know what that means?...(and I don't need any twin-sex jokes...I KNOW this crowd)....
