well about 20% (12 of the 61) of the yea's were from Republicans. That would seem to be a lot crossing party lines to support a democratic bill if they wanted it in a budget, or maybe they were afraid that they would look bad, a la John Kerry, if they didn't support it. Although I do appreciate KMA's effort to get to the bottom, I don't have much faith that it will be an unspun answer (not that i would expect one from a supporter either) but the bill itself appears pretty straightforward.
