Reply #19: Votes (edited to correct listing votes for the wrong bill).

[lindisfarne]

Which of the Democratic YEAs are up for re-election this year? If the Democrats pulled the plug on the Repug political game playing and arranged for Senators in tough election contests to vote YES, while still making sure the bill didn't pass, I can forgive those YEAs. (But Feinstein does not fall in this category).

I used the "Class" listings at http://senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm to determine if someone is up for re-election in 2006.
