Who voted how?

We read in this Yahoo/AP story, Senate Scuttles Gay Marriage Amendment, the following:

The vote was 48-50, 12 short of the 60 needed to keep the measure alive. Six Republicans joined dozens of Democrats in sealing the amendment's fate.

In all, 45 Republicans and three Democrats voted to keep the measure alive. Six Republicans joined 43 Democrats and one independent in opposition.

But the identity of the three Democrats and six Republicans was not reported in the story. So, off to the Senate website where we get the roll-call vote. Democrats voting yes (considered a pro-amendment vote):

Byrd (WV)
Miller (GA)
Nelson (NE)

Republicans voting no:

Campbell (CO)
Chafee (RI)
Collins (ME)
McCain (AZ)
Snowe (ME)
Sununu (NH)
