Under a previous agreement between the two parties, the amendment needed 60 votes to pass.

Nineteen other Democrats crossed over to support the amendment: Max Baucus of Montana, Evan Bayh of Indiana, Mark Begich of Alaska, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Bob Casey Jr.

If Barack Obama, who last week secured enough delegate support for the Democratic presidential nomination, wants to have the same kind of success against U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) this fall, he might need to do the same.
