U.S. Senate: Legislation & Records Home > Votes > Roll Call Vote
Here are the Dems voting nay:
Bayh, Byrd, Conrad, Dorgan, Feingold, Kohl, Lieberman, McCaskill, Nelson of FL, Tester, Warner, Webb, Wyden
OK.
There’s some oddities in who voted yea and nay.
This list of nays did not include several so-called Bluedogs that we know, for instance, have resisted the public option or other aspects of this reform, and I wonder why.
Lincoln, Nelson of NE and Landrieu voted yea. These are votes we have hoped to get against this whole thing. Dick Morris has specifically mentioned them as possibly gettable. Yet, they were ok with this trick
OTOH, We got Feingold, McCaskill and Nelson of FL, who are libs and are for big government healthcare. Other odd nays were Warner, Webb and Wyden.
There may be some obscure games being played here. Who knows what is going on. Am I glad this failed? Absolutely.
But it’s hard to have predicted some of these votes, based on the landscape as it might have appeared...

Good analysis. And we can only hope and pray that Obamacare goes down in similar flames, and we’re left to not know exactly how!
