This is great news . 237-187
Seven ReTHUGs voted with Dems - all Dems votes yes

[ooky]

1. Excellent!

K&R!

[marble falls]

2. Maybe it really is starting to turn around.

3. I mean, it's probably DOA in the Senate.

Not trying to be negative, I just figured that’s the case.

[Bettie]

4. It is DOA in the Senate

but really, everything is DOA there.

10. If only mcturtle was.

[Bettie]

11. If only

but his nastiness will probably keep him alive for a century or more.

6. Of course, but we can at least say we have a plan that has passed the House.

Now voters know what they can expect from the Democrats if they vote us into the Senate majority and White House. By comparison its better than what they have from Republicans, which is nothing.

7. It provides yet another opportunity

To label them as a do-nothing, obstructionist party of "no."

[ooky]

8. Yep. Also, it makes it harder for them to peddle lies about our positions

when we've passed our own legislation to back up what we campaign on.

[JudyM]

13. If only truth would hold as much credibility as GOOP lies, with the general public. We need better

PR.

5. I jumped up and screamed when I heard it on

Rachel Maddow.



*My protest sign.

12. One of my favorites of all time

[gratuitous]

9. Passed with both Democratic AND Republican votes?

My goodness, when the Senate would pass some Republican abomination with a vote from Joe Lieberman or some other sell-out, the media couldn't get enough of the bipartisanship. Well, here's a bipartisan vote for ya! Not to mention that this bill represents what a large majority of the American people favor. Now the question will be will the media report favorably on this vote, or will they pooh-pooh the bill because the Senate isn't going to do anything for the next two years?
