My eyes glaze over when idiot senators are talking. I have no clue what the first vote was for.

Once again, the Democrats have greater party unity than the GOP. Snowe will make sure and get her piece of pork for her vote.

Nah, just no on the first one. Yes on the second. I was hoping she pulled a rope-a-dope on Lincoln, but no dice. Wishful thinking...

Before my eyes glazed over, Senator Rockefeller actually said that.

He said something along the lines of “They can disrupt our town meetings, but they can’t stop us from making decisions.”

Not sure- am cubicle bound at present- no sound no tv- just a quick peek now and then at FR!!

And to your earlier question- yes- there have been some “discussions” around NBC being purchased by FOX...rumors though at this stage..

I guess my question was referring to the final vote, i.e. will the Democrats honor the 60 vote threshhold, or will they simply change (or ignore) the rules in order to allow for a simple majority (50 votes + Biden) to pass.
