(Senator}Cantwell was visibly irritated during the vote as Democratic leaders approached her several times. At one point, she could be heard saying to Reid, “Jesus Christ, Harry.”
Feingold said he was not satisfied that the legislation would prevent another financial meltdown. “Ending debate on the bill is finishing before the job is done,” he said in a statement.
Democrats said they were hopeful that they would win back at least one Democrat who voted against the measure on Wednesday — most likely Cantwell. Party leaders expect other Republicans, including Brown and Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), both of whom have voted with Democrats on key amendments, to join Snowe and Collins in supporting the bill.
