Well, as we expected, the so-called stimulus package passed the Senate by a 61-37 vote. All 58 Democrats voted yes (even the ailing Senator Ted Kennedy) while 37 of the 40 Republicans present voted no. GOP Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire did not vote, presumably pending his confirmation as Secretary of Commerce, and the disputed Minnesota Senate seat is still vacant.
