94-3. Last I checked, it didn't include a provision hiking the minimum wage in American Samoa. I will recheck and post the names of the 3 Senators voting nay when it becomes available on the Senate website.

"and perceived corruption on Capitol Hill"
I'm surprised that ABC used such a mild term as perceived. I would have expected them to use "blatant."

I am not so much worried about the actual minimum pay raise as I am what may have been passed attached to this.
Anyone heard what they put on this bill? I am guessing just about anything anyone wanted to get through. Pork, pork ,pork!

I still don't understand why they don't make it $1,000 per hour, or $10,000 per hour. As long as they are raising it, why be pikers?

Ah, yes...the ole American Samoa caveat....
I don't think I heard any Senator discuss Am. Samoa...so we will have to check.
Thanks for reminding me.

I'll bet my next pay check he will.

With few exceptions, Senate Republicans are a cowardly, unintelligent, unprincipled lot. Pathetic.

I think Bush will sign it. An congressional override of a veto would be terrible for Bush.

Is this the version with or without the "Schumer-Gordon Smith (R-Ore)" domestic-partner benefit provision slipped into it (in the dark of night)?

Will the Senate repeal gravity next? Last I checked, the minimum wage is still zero.

How could things get any worse for Bush? At this point, vetoing everything that comes to his desk for the next two years could only improve his legacy. It was certainly raise my otherwise poor estimation of his integrity.

Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) once again prove that they are rock solid fiscal conservatives by voting against the Senate bill for a minimum wage hike even with the hefty tax cuts for small business included.
Senator DeMint serves as a senior adviser to the Romney for President Exploratory Committee.
