1. Campbell voted aye

But he cancels Zell Miller of course.

Those are the only I have heard so far not along party lines.

2. Stevens voted aye!

So did Chafee and Snow, but not Collins.

Looking good now, I think.

on edit:
Specter aye, and I believe Coleman if I heard right.

3. GOP plan is to lose this vote re overtime pay - then drop it in conference

I, and I suspect our Union friends, are getting tired of pretend wins for Dems.

All Pres type Senators are voting and we will win the Senate vote.

But when it comes back from conference, Chafee/Snow/Campbell will all vote the party line.

6. This highlights a major failing of ADA/ACU/etc 'ratings' of ...

... Senators and Representatives. They can vote one way on the measure and then participate in and/or vote for a conference report that wipes out their vote. When one also considers what happens in committee and caucus, the greatest damage is done 'under the radar'.

8. You heard wrong

that weasel Normie Coleman voted Nay. Hey - you'll know when he doesn't vote the way Bush* told him because it will be cause for immediate news bulletins.

7. I'll be helping with

the Senate Watch as soon as I get an additional TV satellite receiver installed, so I can watch it while working on the desktop computer. My laptop went on the blink. Every time I get on the net, it just freezes up. I have another TV here in my bedroom where the desktop is. I've ordered the receiver and the installation. I hope it will be here soon. Thanks goober.
