The Budget Passes Both Houses–Specter, Republicans Vote No | Talking Points Memo

The Senate has passed the President’s budget by a vote of 53-43.

Just as earlier this month when the Senate passed it’s version of the resolution (and just as in the House earlier today) not a single Republican voted for it. And just as last time, they were joined by Sens. Evan Bayh (D-IN) and Ben Nelson (D-NE). And just as last time, Sen. Arlen Specter voted against it, too. Except last time around he was a Republican.
