I guess they will have to keep voting until it passes. They don’t have enough bribes yet.

My thought exactly ... My guess is the stooge Levin show trial didn't work out right.

They better stop doing this.

Everytime they vote there are more "no" votes. They're losing momentum, not gaining.

Several republican votes are they if Reid agreed to a minimal compromise.

Look again, they dropped 1 vote.

________________________________________

The vote is to bring the bill to the floor not to pass it.

Every time Reid throws it out and it gets thrown back he and his boss at 1600 can talk again about the nasty GOP refusing to take on Wall Street. That's the tactic.

Harry has to vote against it in order to bring it to a vote every day.

Just watch. As soon as one RINO defects, Ben Nelson will become a DemocRAT again.

We need to brand this a “bailout bill” and keep hammering that we are saying “NO” to more democrat bailouts.

Got that straight! All it managed to do was to touch off a national debate about scatalogical expletives.

Harry Reid is a slow learner.
