I will go contrary and say few than 8, with Maine leading the way (Snowe and Collins).

It will be more than the number of Democrats that voted against the measure in the House. It is disgusting that we some times have more conservative Democrats than we have conservative Republicans.

Let’s see: Snowe and Collins from Maine; Graham from SC; Hatch from Utah; maybe one other. Call me an idiot, but I’m thinking McCain votes no.

I took great enjoyment using the contact info here:

http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/

to send two of our Congressmen thanks for nor voting for “The Looters & Pillagers ‘Stimulus’ Bill,” and sending two more to our Senators urging them to have nothing to do with this abomination when it wends its way to their house.

Haven’t had so much fun since Impeachment...

In its current form, none will vote for it. It's that bad.

The bill will be changed in the Senate to get a few Republican votes. The question is how much. I say not much.

Then the PR war starts in earnest as the bill gets reconciled. The media will try to spin it and keep the facts from the public.

Nope, Arizona comes before Maine. McCain will lead them and Snowe will follow.

The republican leadership needs to invite these turncoats to leave the party. Make it official.

It’s good to have a list of people who need to be campaigned against. No money for you. No vote for you. But I got something for the Republican running against ya.

The idiot Voinovich from Ohio will vote for it. He’s in the Libs’ back pocket. Thank God he is not running for re=election again!

Obama may get the Gregg seat by naming the hapless Gregg to Commerce. The NH GOP is now as doomed as the CA party.

The last I heard he opposed the bill as written, if his recent history means anything, a little more wasteful, deceitful spending would probably seal the deal for him.
