The cloture vote was:
63... Aye
33... Nay
4.... Not Voting
Three [Hucthison, Collins, Snowe] voted for cloture but their votes didn’t decide the issue. The dems had the votes to force cloture.
I stayed up to watch the vote, but didn’t see Byrd wheeled- in.
Who were the other absent three? If you know, please don’t bother to check for me.
