Obama very badly wanted to get at least one Republican to vote for it so it could be considered a bipartisan bill. Ultimately, this resulted taking the legislation in a more conservative direction and getting nothing to show for it.

Lieberman and Nelson's behavior during this was particularly galling considering neither of them ran for reelection after this vote anyway.
