How come the GOP didn't filibuster the second stimulus?

They tied to, every republican voted against it except Olympia Snowe. Four Democrats voted against it.

So, four Democrats voted for cloture but against the final bill?

Though I must add, Brown would vote against the health bill, since that is what his whole campaign was about.

Brown was elected before the HC bill was announced, and Romney convinced him to vote for it.
