Newly-seated
Republican Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.) on Monday joined Democrats in
voting to end debate on their $15 billion jobs bill.
Brown crossed the aisle after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)
nixed an $85 billion, bipartisan plan in favor of a more
narrowly-focused bill.

...
Democrats needed to poach Brown and and least one other Republican
to reach the 60 votes necessary to votes. Centrist Republican Sens.
Susan Collins (Maine) and Olympia Snowe (Maine) also voted for cloture
on the proposal.
Retiring GOP Sen. George Voinovich (Ohio) also voted for cloture.
