The lawmakers who failed Thursday to win a key vote on the immigration reform bill before the Senate said on Friday that they will continue to push the bill forward and believed they could still find a compromise that would pass.
"We are not giving up. We are not giving in," Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., told reporters. He is the chief Democrat at the negotiating table for the immigration bill.
"When it is recognized by the American people that the Senate has not acted (on immigration), I believe there is going to be a wave of support for what we have been trying to do," said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who also is on the negotiating team.
The bill, which had been widely criticized, died on a procedural motion Thursday night. But Republican Sens. Specter, Jon Kyl, Lindsey Graham and Mel Martinez were all upbeat after a vote to end debate failed 45-50, failing to reach the 60-vote threshold to move toward final passage.

Has the GOP been absorbed by Landru? Are they pod people? WTF is up with those clowns?
....not the GOP...just the Beltway Bubble Boys who forgot there is an America outside of the confines of D.C.
They are still in denial. Maybe they think a few more weeks of insults will help.
Absorbed by Landru. I like that. They are one with the body... Where’s a phasor when you need one?
I'm sure the reporters eliminated the boozie slur of the quote.
Did anyone expect him (them) to give up?

But please Don’t stop there.
The American People be damned!
I think you’re on to something. The reason for the sudden rush to do this is so it can look bipartisan. If *they* take the White House and hold Congress, their fingerprints will be the only ones on this disaster.
We can’t give up either. Stay in the trenches and prepare to lock and load again.
