We need at least 2

[LSK]

The Franken seat is still in the courts (thanks for nothing Norm Asshat) and I hear Kennedy will be there but has been sick.

We would need 2 GOP votes. That is IFFFFFFFF we get all the Dems to vote on it.

[maddezmom]

1. I think Susan Collins is one

[LSK]

5. yes but maybe she wouldn't budge without this compromise

[wryter2000]

2. I would guess they have the votes

Based on the noises that are coming out about this. There were lots of Rs doing the right things on the amendments yesterday. My guess is we have Collins and Specter and maybe one or two others.

[maddezmom]

6. Specter is up now and I think you're correct

He just said "this is the best we can do and we ought to do".

[tekisui]

7. Probably Snowe, Collins, SPecter and another one or two.

[elleng]

8. I think so too.

[LSK]

10. Specter Collins and Snowe, but maybe they will vote ONLY for the compromise

[elleng]

20. Of course, they're all counting on it.

3. or we need to simply make the assholes actually filibuster

.

[mdmc]

22. that should certainly happen first...

[tekisui]

4. We gots them.

All the back door hankey pankey has it lined up. Probably the Mainers and another couple.

13. Its the blue dogs that kill us every time. They need to go!

Landrieu
Testor
Graham
Lieberman
Bayh et al

[LSK]

16. Graham is a Republican

:shrug:

[backscatter712]

17. I think we've got cloture.

Nelson came out for it, Snowe and Collins came out for it, looks like Specter will be for it.

My bet is that we get 62 votes.

[AlinPA]

19. I don't trust Collins, Snowe and Specter. Don't be surprised if they change their vote for cloture

to embarrass Reid and to give Obama a "defeat" as the media would sing.

[LSK]

21. Collins and Snowe have voted with us in the past

They can be relied on somewhat.

[elleng]

23. I think so.

Specter? well, he said he was. Now the baddies are up. which I could do somethin else.

26. Mitch McConnell just bored my 2 year niece

She was trying to type on the computer so I showed his ugly mug on the CSPAN stream and she walked away.
