Did Lieberman cast a vote on the windfall tax bill?
I know it didn't pass the "filibuster test" and that Clinton, Obama and McCain were absent -- but what about Joe? What about Lindsey?

Can't find a list of yeas and nays.

I wish Dems would go to the mat instead of caving in to an initial vote that SEEMS to be "filibuster proof".

1. I checked them earlier
Joe voted with the Dems. Lindsey Graham abstained, as did McCain, Clinton, Obama, and of course, Byrd and Kennedy. Smith and Snowe voted with the Dems too. Otherwise it was straight party line and the only reason Smith crossed over is because he's about to get his ass kicked out.

4. Thanks for the report - seems that Joe
is trying VERY hard to remain "Independent" and hold on to his perks.

Would that real Dems sweep the Senate and make him completely irrelevant.

2. Liebermoron voted "Yea" with most of the Dems.
However, Landrieu has no excuse for a "Nay"

3. She bothers me -- but I see that
she has strong ties to oil given her location. No excuse at this point.
