robertbowen He’ll have to wait until 2016! RT @BenGoodman: Waiting for Mitch McConnell to say “OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER” #hcr #doitforteddy

BenGoodman @robertbowen I can’t help but feel partially responsible for Mitch McConnell’s re-election… #kypolitics

robertburack Stay up and watch history or rest up for my 745am Spanish final?

BenGoodman @robertburack Watch history! #doitforteddy

robertbowen “Everyone believes we need healthcare reform” -Sen. McConnell… Some of us just don’t have a plan to do it. #hcr

robertburack This McConnell guy, I inadvertently helped re-elect him…

robertbowen @BenGoodman Ah yes…the most destructive act of the Weekly Filibuster.

BenGoodman @robertbowen @robertburack If not for The Weekly Filibuster, we probably would have had the public option…

ThomasCDec @robertburack @bengoodman @robertbowen Imagine if it was Sen. Landham (L-KY)? We did a great deed for our country.

robertbowen RT @AdamSerwer: I wonder if McConnell will quote Ronald Reagan now that’s he’s talked about the bipartisan awesomeness of medicare.

ThomasCDec @BenGoodman that should be our new slogan

BenGoodman @robertburack @robertbowen @ThomasCDec No we did not! Had Landham not been stripped of nom, he would have taken necessary votes from Mitch!

robertburack Woah. Mitch’s voice just hit a puberty-high level.

robertbowen McConnell’s talking about how #hcr would make healthcare more expensive…looks like someone can’t read a CBO report… #doitforteddy

robertburack @bengoodman @robertbowen @thomascdec TWF needs to issue an apology to America.

BenGoodman So happy Vicki Kennedy is in the chamber to see history. #hcr #doitforteddy

ThomasCDec People didn’t vote for @BarackObama because they wanted lower taxes. They voted for him to tackle issues like #hcr. #doitforteddy

ThomasCDec @robertburack I expect a draft on my desk by 9am.

BenGoodman Mitch putting pressure on Lieberman? “One can stop it or everyone will own it” #hcr #doitforteddy

robertburack Mitch, when you lie to Americans and say that #hcr will kill the elderly – the #s against #hcr are bound to go up.

robertburack Nice to see Reid with a matching tie. Last 1am session he had on a tie that even a math teacher wouldn’t wear.

ThomasCDec Maybe Harry Reid’s soft-spoken tenor is the reason why he couldn’t whip the votes necessary for the #publicoption

robertbowen RT @onlynina: Follow @healthydems for the latest (and live!) updates on tonight’s #senatedebate

ThomasCDec I enjoy Harry’s jabs at the GOP. The obstructions are disappointing. #doitforteddy

BenGoodman RT @mitchellreports: what ever happened to great senate closing speeches. we miss teddy #doitforteddy

robertbowen RT @healthydems: “We’re rejecting a system where one class of people can afford to stay healthy while another cannot.” -@SenatorReid

BenGoodman Let’s vote! #doitforteddy

BenGoodman I feel like Biden should be presiding incase Lieberman decides to bail… #hcr #doitforteddy

robertbowen “I believe Lisa and her daughter ought to be able to go to a doctor” -Reid. #hcr #doitforteddy

robertburack Is Dodd crying?

BenGoodman Exactly: #HCR will help hard-working Americans who play by the rules. #doitforteddy

BenGoodman It’s time to end the filibuster! #DOITFORTEDDY

BenGoodman 60! #doitforteddy

ThomasCDec The Senate is quiet.

robertburack 60! #DIDitforteddy

BenGoodman “3/5 of the Senators duly chosen and sworn voting in the affirmative, the motion is agreed to.” #doitforteddy #thankyouteddy

robertburack RT @RepJackKimble They really need a C-Span classic so that close votes can be watched later like ESPN Classic.

BenGoodman I passed 4,000 tweets somewhere in there… #doitforteddy

BenGoodman Thursday, December 24 7pm ET – FINAL VOTE #hcr #doitforteddy #thankyouteddy
