One RINO voted for it and two abstained (the Minn seat is still not settled.)

Which RINO voted for it (let me guess, Spector?)

Senate Democrats attracted just enough Republican votes to clear a key procedural hurdle for the $838 billion economic recovery bill Monday, as they worked toward hammering out a final version of the legislation by week’s end.

By a vote of 61-36, the Senate voted to cut off debate, setting up a likely vote on final passage Tuesday. Democrats needed a 60-vote majority.

If the bill passes Tuesday as expected, lawmakers will then have to reconcile the differences between the Senate and House versions of the package.
