If the "constitutional option" comes to a vote, we will lose by at least one: Brooks is leaving out Arlen Specter.
He has made it clear that he doesn't want this to happen.
Chafee, McCain, Snowe and Warner are certain votes against.
All they need is Collins, Hagel, Voinovich, DeWine, Smith, Graham ... any one of these clowns.
Quite the opposite. Specter has said repeatedly that one way or another, he believes they deserve up or down votes, and he has made motions toward saying that he will vote for it.
I'll bet you $50 Specter is on our side. He's a jerk, but he votes our way when it really matters.
