Yea! I noticed that too! Also noticed McCain didn't manage to make it to roll call that day either to cast a vote! He must be busy with his own campaign issues...

Illinois

Durbin (D) Yes; Obama (D) Not Voting.

You do not hear the media on this one.
Obama is playing padda cake with Europe, was something passed that
they can vote? I do believe he ust had a vacation with his campaign
funds; is that legal?

With Obama and McCain "not voting", I think that since these senators are not doing their job and are pursuing a higher office, they should resign as senators. They are being paid by taxpayers, yet they are not doing their job. I wouldn't be able to keep my job, while pursuing another career, why should they? Just like Clinton. Campaigned for 15 or 16 months, lost and then went back to her job as a senator.

Pennsylvania

Casey (D) Yes; Specter (R) Yes.

Well, if Snarlin' Arlen and his shadow are for it, it most likely includes the illegal alien criminals.

Great point Skippy! Must be nice ignore responsibilities to your constituents while campaigning for POTUS, only to have your cushy Senate job waiting for you if things don't work out!

Since Reid voted for it and Ensign was against it....I would say it included help for illegals

Read the bill, who the hell is going to help other than the FED again?

The Federal Corporation is stealing America blind.

I'm disappointed in my two Senators:

North Carolina

Burr (R) Not Voting; Dole (R) Not Voting.

They should have both had the guts to vote he$$ no!

Nice to see these folks did the right thing, even if it was a wasted effort:

DeMint
Grassley
Vitters
Cornyn
Hutchinson
Kyl
Ensign
Coburn
Thune
Corker
Hatch
Barrasso
Enzi

I'm not surprised to see that every single U.S. Senate Democrat voted for the bail out!
