BREAKING: Harry Reid will file cloture on Don't Ask Don't Tell TONIGHT!!!!!
Edited on Thu Dec-16-10 07:59 PM by BzaDem
Vote will be on Saturday! Folks, assuming Republicans don't back down on their word (and that's a huge assumption), I think that's it.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Edit: Cloture filed. Vote is now on Saturday. So far, Brown/Murkowski/Snowe/Collins have said they will support, giving us 61 votes. That leaves a 1-vote cushion if someone doesn't make it. Or, they could all defect and kill it. We will find out Saturday.

3. Well, that's good. I don't know how this will go, however. I don't trust
all those Repubs who say they're for repeal.

9. Wyden actually won't be there starting Friday.
But we have at least 61 commitments, so it should still pass.

8. If this works out as it should I will go back to church. Will accept recommendations
for denominations and locations and times of service.

18. Call your senators, please.
I'll call mine, with particular emphasis on Mark Kirk. He's still "undecided", apparently.
