omg.. they did not vote on DADT. they voted on CLOTURE for DEFENESE BILL!. and IT DID NOT HAVE DA IN IT! reid was going to offer it as an amendment if they got 60 votes to pass cloture. it doesnt mean shit. it doesnt mean all the same members would have voted for cloture on dream act as an amendment.

read this article. this tells me that Ben Nelson (who voted for cloture on defense bill) will vote no on cloture for dream act. so get real and get a clue. not all 58 democrats will vote yes for cloture. quit assuming that every single democrat will vote yes and stop saying we have 60+ votes for dream act.
