14-9. One Republican vote (Olympia Snowe, R-ME). Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.

It sure was important that it didn't pass 13 to 10. What would people think.
I understand the vote will be put off until after the governor's races in November, waiting for a guide as to the mood of the electorate.

I saw an interview with Orin Hatch who complained that the Republicans weren't consulted. Conversely, I seem to remember everyone trying to get the Republicans on-board but their alternative was to delay all decisions until the sun went nova.

Yes, the Republican version of "not working with us" seems to really mean "they didn't do everything we asked." | |

I guess her vote makes it 'bipartisan'?  | |

it was a bipartisan decision. Both sides had their say and voted.
What it wasn't was tripartisan, but that's because Americans love to reduce everything to A vs. B.
