Folks - it's a myth that we have 60 votes in the Senate - on a good day we have 45 |

when you subtract out the blue dogs, corporatists and DLC'er types: Evan Bayh of Indiana, Tom Carper of Delaware and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Mark Begich of Alaska, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Bill Nelson of Florida, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Mark Udall of Colorado, and Mark Warner of Virginia.
