Can we get a list of which senators voted yay or nay?

The cloture vote is right here.

Brown, Collins, Kirk, Murkowski, Snowe, Voinovich were Republicans voting in favor; no Democrats voted against it. Bunning, Hatch, Gregg, and Manchin were absent.

As far as I can tell, the only difference with the final passage is that Ensign and Burr voted aye on the bill itself while voting nay on cloture (for some reason).

I have no idea why. Why would those two support the bill? And if they did for whatever reason, why vote against the cloture motion?
