Let's just hope for the best.

The last time anything on Lieberman was really spoken about was last week (at least I think it was last week), when he said something about that 59th vote, yada yada yada.

Nelson obviously didn't vote, but he hasn't from the get go, so his "no" was to be expected.

Not sure why they would have rushed a cloture vote tonight.

Actually what he said was that Lieberman voted DEM 99% of the time.. not "always" Care to comment?

Reid canceled cloture. Someone explain that to me.

Did they just say "Mr. Reid of Nevada, NO"?

Yeah, not really sure what's going on. The pop up on the screen said something about HR 4213.

Wouldn't this new bill they are trying to pass have a new number?

that was a vote to limit debate right?

My guess is he cancelled it because he saw it was to fail...

So the bill keeps going. Nothing happened tonight, either way? McConnel offering 2 month extension fully paid. Not long enough.
