Three Votes Short

The cloture vote to bring the D.C. voting-rights legislation to the Senate floor has failed 57-42, leaving the bill unfilibusterproof.

Maybe next time.

Kudos to Mayor Adrian Fenty, who was working the Senate floor throughout the vote. (He has Congressional floor privileges ex officio.)
