OK. Any bets this thing passes with the same votes???
Corker is voting against the bill. His was a procedural vote according to Rules in the Senate. Ever hear votes where the Majority Leader votes with the other side on a vote?
The votes might be different. There might be some who voted for cloture and will vote against the bill. There might even be one or two who voted for cloture today who will vote against cloture when it is brought up again once the bill comes out of conference. There is still the chance to stop this bill, but it will take a lot of angry phone calls from a lot of angry people to a lot of senators who will be up for reelection in 2010.
Corker will not be voting for it in the final vote.
Corker: “Stimulus” Package Is Nothing Short of a Disaster
Wit the possible except that the two "not voting" will vote against it. That would make it 61-38. Although it's possible a Dem or three up in 2010 will vote nea, and hope they can hide behind "We needed to vote" to cover their cloture vote.
Der Furher The Messiah will be pleased.
