[Only 17 Democrats in the House and three in the Senate voted against it, as did Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, who announced Tuesday that he would leave the Republican Party.]
Not a single Republican voted for this budget, but it had bipartisan opposition.
Even Specter voted nay. Which other Democrats voted against it? Bayh and who else?
