[Keith]

it seems pretty certain now that this vote will fail...

my guess is that the Dems were told to say no on the first, and after that they were free to vote their conscience.

[Miss Marple]

I checked the thread. Seems to be a mistranslation. They have BOOBYTRAPPED 2500 oil WELLS, according to later posts.

My count through Nelson (FL) is:
Ayes - 29
Nayes - 23

Bunning AYE

[Howlin]

All the "candidates" are voting no.

This is good.

[Cboldt]

This is the cloture vote. If it passes (needs 60 votes to pass), then the only business of the Senate will be up-or-down on Estrada.

[San Jacinto]

Looks like only 55 or 56 ayes, to me.

[Howlin]

EDWARDS: NO

[PhiKapMom]

Edwards NO -- another RAT candidate!

[Otta B Sleepin]

thanks!

[A Citizen Reporter]

Edwards-NO

[cyncooper]

Please note I copied from another poster and did not take the time to correct the misspelling. LOL

[EllaMinnow]

Her Royal Pigness can't appear before dark, she is the true Daughter of Dracula.

and the Bride of Satan.

[Howlin]

CHAFEE: AYE.

[PhiKapMom]

I am with you -- only 55 or 56!

[Dolphy]

Doesn't look like any surprises so far. Do I have that right? I watched Leahy and Daschle's opening remarks, I didn't get that they look defeated, but I like the interpretations better here.

[GOPrincess]

Just got back. Did they get Landrieu!

[cyncooper]

Landrieu and Corzine both NO

[alisasny]

Its nice to see the rats demonstrate true bipartisonship LOL

Really, Frist told them he is going to annoy them until they vote up or down on Estrada and I believe him....

[Howlin]

LOL!
