I will go contrary and say few than 8, with Maine leading the way (Snowe and Collins).
Dirty dozen.
5
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.
Two.
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...
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.
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.
Obama may get the Gregg seat by naming the hapless Gregg to Commerce. The NH GOP is now as doomed as the CA party.

...and I admit to being dogged optimist.
Hopefully not the gang of 14.
Two and McCain won’t be one. Collins and Snowe.
ONly a person who truly hates this country could vote for this legislation. It tears up so many freedoms—all your medical records will go into an electronic database, no more privacy; socialized health care for most of the country, meaning no more choice/privacy or ability to pay privately for health care you want but the government says you don’t need; mortgaging our children and our children’s children’s future...ANYONE who votes for this bill hates our country. Do the Senators HATE our country this badly?
