[Don'tMessWithTexas]

How many Dems are going to vote aye? Nelson of FL, no.

[Trust but Verify]

Yep; that's Nobody's Senator™

Nobody's but ours. Barf.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

How many Dems are going to vote aye? Nelson of FL, no.

[Coop]

Mikulski No

So the earlier Mikulski report of Aye was undoubtedly for Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).

[AndrewC]

Heh heh

Mukulski (sp?) just changed her vote to NO

I don't think she waddled down before now.

[NautiNurse]

I'm not putting much faith in the Rat votes yet.

Smart idea. We had a taste of their tactics yesterday.
