1. The Benator, my Senator? Good.

[Barack_America]

2. Seems to be.

Still no link.

Apologies.

[Freddie Stubbs]

3. Which one? Bill or Ben?

:shrug:

[SteppingRazor]

4. Ben's been the only questionable one, as far as voting for cloture to send the bill to the floor.

n/t

[Barack_America]

5. Ben Nelson.

Bill Nelson is not a hold out, to my knowledge.

[WI_DEM]

6. one down.

[Wapsie B]

7. I wonder what they gave him for his vote?

Or is he doing it out of the goodness of his heart?

[Barack_America]

8. The second link has his statement.

He says that he doesn't want to be an "obstructionist", yet he is still willing to vote against cloture after the bill comes out of conference.

:eyes:

Nevertheless, it's a step in the right direction.

9. Only on the motion to consider.

10. I hate this bill, but I guess we gotta run with it, so whoopee!!!

I'll get out my party hat. (halfearted sigh......)

[MNDemNY]

11. Fuck this bill. Hang on to your hat.
