right now between democrat chris dodd and republican richard shelby, and they think this no vote by republicans will pressure the party to come to an agreement in those private negotiations. >> all 41 republicans in the senate were united. they voted against the democrats, but the democrats were not completely united. >> a very surprising move. one democrat, ben nelson, voted no. he voted with the republicans. now, why would one democrat break away? well, he publicly told one of our producers, it's because he's worried about main street and the effect of the bill on main street. but we should point out that he was pushing very hard for one of his constituents, warn buffett. warren buffett asked for a special exception to be made in some of the language so warren buffett's business wouldn't be hurt too broadly by some of the changes. that did not prevail, and so one can only wonder if that factored into this democrat, ben nelson's decision to vote against the legislation this time. >> the oracle of omaha, nebraska
