The procedural vote in the Senate on President Obama’s jobs bill is not expected to pass tonight. The vote has been left open for Sen. Shaheen to return to vote. With her vote, Dems are expected to garner 51 “yes” votes, not enough to break a filibuster but still enough to break the impression that Democrats still have some trouble with the bill.
