60-40

Under the cover of darkness. There isn't even anything up on the news sites yet.

Update: So, here's the WaPo on this shit...

The 60-40 tally, taken shortly after 1 a.m., followed 12 hours of acrimonious debate and required senators to trek to the Capitol in the aftermath of a snowstorm. The vote was the first of three procedural hurdles that Democrats must cross before a final vote on passage of the measure, now scheduled for Christmas Eve.

Why? Why did they feel the need to do this at 1 a.m.? Why did they feel the need to do this when their offices went directly to voicemail? (And I tried calling both of my California Senators, even though I knew it would be a futile gesture.)

Because they know this is a shit sandwich, and the people they claim to represent can't stand it.

November, 2010. If we don't make a statement then, we never will.
