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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
