The Senate voted 67-28 to pass a cloture motion, seemingly enough to assure final ratification. Eleven Republicans joined with 56 Democrats to pass the cloture motion.
It will take 67 votes to ratify the New Start pact, which would give the Obama administration its top foreign policy goal in the lame-duck session.
Among Republicans announcing their support were Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, George V. Voinovich of Ohio, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker of Tennessee, Johnny Isakson of Georgia, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Thad Cochran of Mississippi, and Bob Bennett of Utah. All voted for cloture.

When is the vote scheduled?
Ping.
There’s that commie, Mookowski again. She’s a regular Obamanoid Tingler. The GOP needs to throw her goatsmellin’, liberal @$$ out of the party!
Putin is rolling on the floor laughing...
According to CSPAN....sometime tomorrow (that means it will be voted on when we are not watching)....
we have to end lame duck session and seat new people as soon as their elections are validated. There’s no need for delay with modern media and modern transportation.
And these freaking republicans. In 2006 we had a repub lame duck congress, didn’t pass ANYTHING. in 2010 bending over ass backwards to give dems what they want.
Stupid senate mother effers.
Se habla espanol

All these zip-wads are worse than the Dems. At least the Dems are more honest about being anti-American.
I called both my senators’ offices to implore them to vote NO and wait for the new Senate. I got through to a polite Chambliss (GA) staffer. Isaackson was no answer and two full voice mail boxes.
Oh well. At least Saxby had his act together.
Interesting. Before the November election this vote would have been more or less down party lines. Now it’s “bi-partisan”. Which means some republicans joined the liberals, as is their nature.
Anybody know how big the bribe was?
oops. That would be Isakson. Bad fingers. Bad!

Lessee... RINO, RINO, RINO, RINO, RINO, RINO, RINO, baked beans, RINO, RINO, RINO and RINO.
Have you got anything without RINO?
Okay, I’ll stop.
That’s 11 Senators who won’t be winning their next primary elections.
The final vote had been scheduled for today, postponed until tomorrow now.
What’s odd is that today I saw Lindsay Grahamnesty on TV all against this thing, making good arguments why it shouldn’t be passed with this lame duck congress, what’s the hurry?
Lindsay Graham, dag, he’s a big-time RINO and he’s still, as I understand it, against this thing.
Just odd I think.
Traitorous bastards all of ‘em!
This is more than approving a faulty START treaty as the National Review editorial correctly lambastes. It is worse. This marks the beginning of the Obama 2012 re-election. The 11 traitors all- must have a scarlet letter T around their necks. Where was the Rebublican base? The Tea Partiers? Shame on us all. Make no mistake. These filthy traitors just insured an Obama re-election.
