Republicans voting YES: Lugar, Murkowski, Bennett.  Democrats voting NO: Hagan, Pryor, Tester, Nelson (NE), Baucus.  Those missing the vote were: Bunning (KY), Gregg (NH), Hatch (UT) and  Manchin (WV).  All four  would have voted NO, including Manchin who did not like that the DREAM Act did not require completion of a college degree.
