Senate Invokes Cloture On Collins-Nelson Amendment

The amended $800 billion stimulus bill is on the way to passage after a 61-36 vote in favor of cloture.

We had all 57 Democrats voting Yes plus Sanders of Vermont (I),  3 GOP Senators voting Yes (Collins, Snowe and Specter), and 1 not voting (Gregg) plus one vacancy in Minnesota (party unknown) so that leaves 1 more non voting Republican, I’m not sure who they were.

Thanks to George for reminding me about Minnesota.

    Minnesota is down a Senator.
  • Ah yes, I had forgotten that

    You're welcome.

    Cronyn of Texas was the other Senator not voting. No idea why
