The party stuck together.

That should be called a victory

And, it doesn’t hurt to get those Dem senators up for re-election in 2012 on the record as voting for an unconstitutional bill.

And that is a big plus, that many FReepers don't understand.

To those many citizens out there who don’t like this law, but who voted Democrat in 2006 and ‘08 because they were gullible enough to think Bush was the anti Christ, I say are you happy now??

That’s my understanding. He’s an independent anyway, so why not vote?

She was elected because she made a “deal” with the Dems. She voted with them for every “lame duck” bill the Dems promoted....

Witch, indeed.

AK voters really blew it.

(TX) Senator Cornyn’s legal help from the NRSC also helped her. He needs to be toast over that, but he will not be up for reelection until 2014.

Who of the Dem's in the senate are up for election in 2012? Need to start saving my money to send to the Conservatives running against them.

It’ll be interesting to see how this shakes out now that that judge ruled it unconstitutional.

It’d be great to see them vote against repeal multiple times before 2012.
