Check It
Yays and Neas on ANWR

The GristMill blog has a list of how all the Senators voted yesterday on allowing oil exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which passed 51 to 48 and brings it closer to a bill to be signed by President Bush.
Only three Democrats voted "Nay": Daniel Akaka and Daniel Inouye, both from Hawaii, and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. [...] (A "Yea" vote is a vote to protect the Arctic Refuge.)
That's really disappointing. If the Dems could have held together, we would have finished this once and for all (well, maybe not--this issue is kind of like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, it keeps popping up even long after you think it's done and dusted).
