Let's assume that some time today, we have votes on the Reid/McConnell deal in both houses of Congress.  This is highly hypothetical of course, and we don't know the details for sure, but let's assume that, as has been reported in the press, the deal is a clean CR until mid-January under sequester spending levels, a debt limit increase that takes us to February, and a budget process designed to give us a longer term deal in December.  With perhaps a couple of minor face-saving concessions by each side tacked on.  Assume that this is all in one package, with a single vote on it, up or down.

How many votes would it get from each party in the House, and how many in the Senate?

Deal is passed in the Senate 61-39, and Rejected in the House 217-219.

The vote spills across party lines, especially in the House.

Like 74-26 in Senate and 235 votes in the House.

In each case, all Ds for.

85+ in the Senate, two thirds of Democrats, Bill Young, and the NYGOP delegation in the House. Tongue

Super-majority in Senate, larger majority than expected in the House

I'm optimistic now that Cruz decided not to filibuster.

They didn't vote because Ted "Small Penis" Cruz is blabbing his fat lips about Obamacare

81-19 in the Senate...

81-18 (Wow, Polnut, nice job!)

http://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/18-republican-senators-oppose-deal-98431.html?hp=t2_3

Toomey voted nay.  Toomey.  Hope the PA Dems can find a way to make hay about that.

Coburn, Roberts, Scott, Vitter, Lee, Cruz, Toomey, R. Johnson, Crapo, Rubio, Shelby, Risch, Grassley, Sessions, Paul, Cornyn, Enzi and Heller were the no votes. Inhofe was absent.


Heller, Toomey, and Grassley stand out there.


It's also weird that Roberts voted against the measure, but Moran didn't.

House is debating it now, and the vote will apparently begin within the next hour.

Not weird at all - Roberts has one of the most conservative voting records in the Senate, while Moran is much more pragmatic. Both are able to pass as reasonably sane, though. We have two pretty good work-horses in the Senate, which I greatly prefer to a Cruz or Lee.

Glad to hear it's passing, but it's getting more GOP votes than I thought it would - I had figured it would get 50 tops.

And with that, it looks like the crisis is over (at least until January):

Aaaand it passes 285-144.

I actually thought a majority of House Republicans would vote for this.  Silly me.

About time this silly nonsense is over. Surprised Dean Heller voted against it.
