HCR Reconciliation Thread (expected sign ups) We Still Do Not Have The Votes

[Suji to Seoul]

Four more to the "yes" column, but not any that weren't expected. Let's look at the count. Tom Udall and Kaufman of Delware agreed.

We need at least 50 to force a Biden tie breaker vote. Including 41 GOP "no" votes, the count is 49 - 48 - 3.

Let's look at the 36 who have stated to use Reconciliation (according to Countdown). Let's assume we have those:
Feinstein, Kerry, Sanders, Brown, Whitehouse, Bennet, Burris, Gillibrand, Merkeley, Franken, Leahy, Schumer, Reed, Boxer, Udall, Mikulski, Shaheen, Lautenberg, Durbin, Specter, Casey, Dorgan, Cardin, Bingamen, Menendez, Wyden, Stabenow, Johnson, Feingold, Inouye, Carper, Levin, Klobuchar, Murray, Kaufman, Udall

The following are definite "yes" votes: (13 total yes votes)
Byrd - WV;; Kohl - WI; Akaka - HI; Tester - MT; Harkin - IA; Webb - VA; Warner - VA; Dodd - CT; McCaskill - MO; Bayh - IN; Hagan - NC; Landrieu - LA
Reid - NV (if the votes are there)

Conrad's appearance on Countdown did not make me confident he would support the Public Option at all. He is still maybe.

The following are definite "maybe" votes: (3) votes
Begich - AK (being a DEM in AK has advantages. He may be one term and we can use that for our advantage.)
Conrad - ND (Since I have not heard a peep from him, he's in the maybe section. Someone help me out.)
Cantwell - WA (Lukewarm. Keep up the heat.)

The following are the "no" votes, the Blue Dog, DINO-moles in the Senate: (7 votes)
Bill Nelson - FL (no completely. Too bought.)
Ben Nelson - NE (no completely. Too selfish.)
Pryor - AR (No chance for his vote. Too brain dead.)
Rockefeller - WV (WILL NOT SUPPORT RECONCILIATION. APPARENTLY THERE ARE NO POOR PEOPLE IN WV.)
Lincoln - AR (WILL NOT SUPPORT RECONCILIATION. APPARENTLY THERE ARE NO POOR PEOPLE IN AR.)
Lieberman - CT (WILL NOT SUPPORT RECONCILIATION. THIS MOLE NEEDS TO BE DROPPED FROM THE CAUCUS.)

We do not have it, but we are one vote away from a 50-50 with a Biden "yes" tie-breaker!!! Expect 41 no votes (45 with these DINO assholes).

Keep up the heat!!!
